Abstract
Method and apparatus for controlling the front and rear wheel braking system of a road-going mass-produced motor car or automobile enables provision of brake-by-wire facilities utilizing an electrically-powered servo motor to generate brake-operating thrust which is applied to the interleaved friction elements and twin discs of a disc brake having axially slideable discs and a fixed caliper and disc and friction element-attitude control structure. The brake is of spot-type disc brake construction and the servo motor applies less brake-actuating thrust than is required for a comparable fixed disc and floating caliper construction.
