Abstract
Brake discs of carbon or other porous material in which the opposed faces of the discs are provided with shallow grooves extending between the inner and outer circumferences to vent steam and other gases generated during braking. The grooves of the stationary discs may be at different angles relative to the radii than are the grooves of the rotating discs.
