Abstract
A single sided friction assembly is provided in which an annular ring of friction material is provided on only one side of a relatively heat conductive metallic core plate, with the rings facing the same direction, and the ring of friction material engaging the rear bare metal side of an adjacent disk. An actuator is provided to bring the assembly into frictional engagement. Modifications are made at one and preferably both ends of the assembly to accommodate thermal deformations of the disks.
