Disc brake temperature sensor apparatus, comprising a sensor 512 attached to the brake disc 502, which transmits a signal to a relay 510, which transmits the signal to a remote interrogation apparatus. The remote interrogation apparatus sends an interrogation signal requesting a temperature reading to the relay, which in turn transmits the request to the sensor, before receiving the response from the sensor, and relaying the response to the remote interrogation apparatus. Also disclosed is a brake disc 512 for use in an aircraft, comprising a temperature sensor 512 attached to a brake disc by a mounting element, such as cured adhesive material 800, wherein the disc features a first formation, which interlocks with a second formation of the mounting element in order to prevent axial and circumferential movement of the sensor, such as spikes 801, into which the adhesive 800 sets
