   Lateral run-out (lack of perpendicularity between the disc surface and the shaft axis, caused by deformations or more frequently by a lack of proper cleaning of the mounting surface of hub. This run-out can produce brake pedal pulsations, vibration of the vehicle when brakes are applied and can induce uneven wear of the disc.

   On automobiles, disc brakes are often located within the wheel A drilled motorcycle brake disc. The development of disc-type brakes began in England in the 1890s. In 1902, the Lanchester Motor Company designed brakes that looked and operated similarly to a modern disc-brake system even though the disc was thin and a cable activated the brake pad. [4]

4. Brake wear indicator - Wikipedia

   The embedded sensor in the brake pad 2 contacts the rotor and creates a connection to ground of the sensor. The metal plate 3 contacts the rotor and creates a noise. This wear clip should be positioned so that the rotor contacts the clip before it contacts the brake pad. The rotor should push against that clip, not drag it away from the brake pad.

   A disc brake consists of a metal disc, or "rotor", attached to the wheel hub that rotates with the wheel. Calipers are attached to the frame or fork along with pads that squeeze the rotors for braking. Disc brakes may be actuated mechanically by cable, or hydraulically.

6. Ausco Lambert disc brake - Wikipedia

   The Ausco-Lambert brake is self-energizing. It holds one ring rigidly and lets the other rotate freely, without a stop. The rotation direction is arranged so the direction of free rotation is the same as the hollow brake "disc". Thus, the disc tends to pull the ring in the direction that further applies the brake.
