The Aland was a four-cylinder 2.5-liter 16-valve, single OHC automobile with diagonally connected four-wheel internal expanding brakes and aluminum pistons. [1] It was made in Detroit, Michigan, by the Aland Motor Car Company from 1916 to 1917. Two- and five-seater versions were available for $1500. [2]
When production of the 350 resumed in 1920, it was much improved. The side-valve engine was replaced by a new overhead-valve design that produced 10 bhp. It also had internal expanding brakes and chain primary drive.
The hand lever to the driver's right by the change-speed lever operated internal expanding brakes on the back wheels, the foot brake pedal operated a contracting band on a drum just behind the gearbox. A hand adjustment for wear was provided for both rear and transmission brakes. [2]

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.
The Rollin automobile [3] had advanced technology, brakes on all four wheels (mechanical internal expanding type), pistons and connecting rods of special aluminum, lubrication oil through a pump and a four-bearing crankshaft. [4] There were four models: Touring ($995, equivalent to $17,690 in 2023), Brougham, Sedan and a three-passenger Coupe ...
Brake fade can be a factor in any vehicle that utilizes a friction braking system including automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, and bicycles. Brake fade is caused by a buildup of heat in the braking surfaces and the subsequent changes and reactions in the brake system components and can be experienced with both drum brakes and disc ...
A vacuum brake cylinder and hydraulic master cylinder set was mounted on each bogie. From the master cylinder, hydraulic fluid passed through hoses to the operating cylinders. The operating cylinders actuated cam mechanisms within the brake drums to apply the internally expanding brake shoes to the inside circumference of the drums. The 20 inch ...
