In so doing they convert the energy into hear. There are tow types of brakes, the drum brake and the disc brake. Either or both types may be fitted. But where both types are used it is usual for the disc brakes to be fitted to the front wheels. In both drum and disc brakes, a hydraulic system applies the brakes. The hydraulic system connects the brake pedal to the brake parts at each wheel. 1 Drum Brakes The drum brake consists of a pair of semicircular brake shoes mounted on a fixed back plate and situated inside a drum. This drum is fixed to the road wheel and rotates with it .One end of each shoe is on a pivot and a spring holds the other end in contact with the piston of a hydraulic cylinder.(In front brakes it is usual to use two hydraulic cylinders in order to equalize the pressures exerted by the shoes, as shown in Fig.7.1)Each shoe is faced with material ,known as brake lining ,which produces high frictional resistance. The hydraulic system comprises a master cylinder and the slave cylinders which are the cylinders on the road wheels.The slave cylinders are connected to the master cylinder by tubing and the whole system is filled with hydraulic fluid .A piston in the master cylinder is connected to the brake pedal, so that when the driver depresses the pedal the fluid is forced out to each slave cylinder and operates their pistons. The fluid pushes the pistons out of their cylinders. The，in turn, push against the inner ends of the brake shoes and force them against the drums in each wheel. We say that the brakes are on. This friction of the shoes
