Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation
Exploded View Of Master Cylinder Assembly
This master cylinder is designed for use in a diagonal split system (one front and one diagonally opposite rear brake served by the primary piston, and
the opposite front and rear brakes served by the secondary piston). It incorporates the functions of the standard dual master cylinder plus a warning
light switch and proportioners. In addition, a quick take-up feature is incorporated which provides a large volume of fluid to the wheel brakes at low
pressure with initial brake application. The low pressure fluid quickly provides the displacement requirements created by the seal retracting pistons in
the front calipers and spring retraction of the rear drum brake shoes.
