Meanings
-
(UK) A type of brake where the friction is produced by brake pads which are pressed against a disc (or rotor) made of steel or ceramic.
The railbuses are equipped with automatic compressed air disc brakes; in the event of failure causing reduced pressure in the brake pipe, the brakes are automatically operated.
