New and more stringent braking codes are presented and compared with existing requirements. A series of braking performance tests on a WABCO 170C Haulpak truck with shoe brakes is reported. The results show that designing a brake system on static torque is not acceptable, that a level equivalence test of stops on ten percent grade is not practical and that to ensure similar linings will perform equally well they must be tested. The relative advantages and disadvantages of shoe brakes, motor speed disc brakes and wheel speed disc brakes are discussed. (Wassmann)
