The Ausco Lambert Early Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Available on 1949-1954 Crown Imperials, Town too Countrys, too other large Mopars every bit an option. It was a 40% increase inward brake surface area over the 12" drums of the day... these cars were almost iv tons, too the 12 inch drums weren't upwards to it.
Unlike the usual disc brakes used today, based on the usual disc brakes that became familiar inward the 1965 curl out of Corvettes, these Ausco Lambert had 360 degrees of both sides of the discs inward contact amongst the brake pad liners, similar the similar clutch contact method
This event shows the stationary, carve upward brake disc. When the brake pedal was applied, twin wheel cylinders pushed the carve upward disc apart too thence its friction pads made contact amongst the insides of the spinning housing. Self-energizing action too extra braking forcefulness was provided by times one-half dozen steel balls riding inward ramp that wedged the disc apart. Metal homecoming springs retracted the industrial institute when the brakes were released. The arrangement was designed by times Ausco-Lambert (aka the Auto Specialties Manufacturing Company) of St. Joseph, Missouri, too further developed under license by times Chrysler. After Chrysler dropped the costly unit of measurement of touchstone for 1955 (improved vacuum boosters gave novel life to Chrysler’s drum brake systems), Ausco-Lambert changed the housing cloth to aluminum too tried to marketplace prepare the brakes over the counter every bit the “Double-Disc Safety Brake.” Unfortunately, it was overshadowed by times European-style, floating-caliper brakes
