  2. Brake wear indicator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_wear_indicator

    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.

    Whistle tips, also referred to as whistler tips, or whistlers, are modified vehicle exhaust pipes that generate a whistling sound during the operation of a motor vehicle that can often be heard up to a mile away.

    When the signal was at 'caution' or 'danger', the ramp battery was disconnected and so could not replace the locomotive's battery current: the brake valve solenoid would then be released causing air to be admitted to the vacuum train pipe via a siren which provided an audible warning as well as slowly applying the train brakes.

    No Jake brakes sign. The use of engine compression brakes may cause a vehicle to make a loud "growling", "machine gun", or "jackhammer" like exhaust noise, especially vehicles having no mufflers, which has led many communities in the United States, Canada, and Australia to prohibit compression braking within municipal limits.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

    A compression release brake (also known as a Jacobs brake or "jake brake"), is the type of brake most commonly confused with real engine braking; it is used mainly in large diesel trucks and works by opening the exhaust valves at the top of the compression stroke, so the large amount of energy stored in that compressed air is not returned to ...

  7. Trail braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_braking

    Trail braking is a driving and motorcycle riding technique where the brakes are used beyond the entrance to a turn (turn-in), and then gradually released (trailed off). Depending on a number of factors, the driver fully releases brake pressure at any point between turn-in and the apex of the turn.
