DESCRIPTION
These power brake units, Figs. 1 and 2, are a combination vacuum-hydraulic brake booster of the vacuum suspended type which use engine intake
manifold vacuum and atmospheric pressure for its power.
These units consist of a vacuum power section and an hydraulic master cylinder section. The vacuum power section contains a power piston with
rolling diaphragm mechanism and power piston return spring.
The control valve is made up of an air valve and floating vacuum control valve assembly. The reaction mechanism consists of an hydraulic piston,
reaction plate and a series of levers. The valve operating rod, which operates the air valve, projects from the power section and is connected to the
brake pedal linkage.
