Abstract
In an hydraulically-operated braking system for vehicles a supply of hydraulic fluid under pressure from a pump is utilized for applying a wheel brake, and the pump is responsive to rotation of the braked wheel so that the brake applying force is dependent upon the speed of rotation of the wheel and the wheel is automatically prevented from locking, and the system incorporates an hydraulic accumulator adapted to define a reservoir of high pressure for providing an instantaneous supply of high pressure fluid to apply the brake.
