Abstract
A vehicle braking system in which an annular piston brake and a booster to generate an amplified output force for actuating the brake are combined to form an integrated unit. The booster is mounted on an axle casing in which the piston brake is located so that the amplified force acts directly on fluid in a chamber to displace the piston brake. A self-bleeding facility for the brake fluid is provided via the booster.
