Abstract
In a combined wheel-disc assembly, the wheel disc surface is used as a brake rotor. The need for a separate disc rotor is eliminated and the assembly provides a large area for brake contact and desirable air cooling of the braking surface. Braking forces are balanced in the disclosed assembly. Holes may be provided in the wheel disc to increase air circulation.
