INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT BRAKES
• The 1920 Duesenberg, an American luxury car with a "straight eight" engine, was the first production car with hydraulic brakes (using pipes and fluid rather than cables). In 1924, Chrysler brought the now universal feature to mass-produced cars.
• The legendary Dunlop-developed disc brakes that helped Jaguar win the Le Mans 24-Hour race in 1953 were then referred to as "plate brakes."
• The 1967 Porsche 911S was the first production car to feature ventilated disc brake rotors. Now common, these rotors have cooling channels running between the two friction surfaces to give better cooling and therefore better resistance to brake fade during heavy applications.
• The most advanced brakes are found among Formula One racing vehicles.
• Under extreme conditions, the operating temperatures of modern braking components can average nearly 350°C, requiring that they need exceptional wear resistance, heat resistance and stopping capabilities.
• Harmful agents such as asbestos, lead and cadmium have been removed from modern brake pads. Today's pads contain mixtures of fibers, fillers, lubricants and a binder resin.
• The mass of disc brake rotors has increased over recent years to improve noise suppression, smoothness and stopping performance.
• Once considered one of the simplest parts of a car to manufacture, today's disc brakes are high-tech electronically monitored systems. Because the slightest shudder can confuse the car's anti-lock braking system, tolerances need to be extraordinarily tight.
