Description of series of experiments using momentum of vehicle as energizer of brake member itself; basic principle used is wedge interposed between fixed torque abutment and inside of brake drum; one drum equipped with six brake members, four forward and two in reverse; experiments with hydraulic instead of mechanical operation; correct place for brake energizer is within brake itself and independent of outside forces.
