Abstract
An annular brake disc takes the form of a metal frame having circumferentially-distributed, part-circular apertures in which part-circular pads of high heat-absorption material are inserted. Chordal gaps of the apertures open radially of the frame and through these the pads can be inserted and then rotated into a final position where they are held by a dowel. In arrangements in which the part-circular apertures intersect each pad is cut away on one side to receive the adjacent pad except one which is cut away on both sides and another which is not cut away but which is the only pad held in its final position by a dowel.
