Date of Invention and Widespread Use?
editWe need to have the date of invention and production, please. I'm certain that just before WWII General Motors was using 4 wheel hydraulic brakes and Ford Motor Company did not have it on their light trucks of the time. Any clarification will help.
Is there a list of automotive safety features and their "invention and widespread use" tables in wiki? If there is, could we have it on the referral list at the bottom? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Homebuilding (talk • contribs) 13:12, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
In the third section on operation, there is clearly part of a sentence and sentence break missing: "...one or more seated O-rings which prevent The brake caliper pistons then apply force...". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickjf22 (talk • contribs) 07:00, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
Cracking caused by contaminated fluid?
editThis change claims that "Cracks can form if two types of brake fluid are mixed or if the brake fluid becomes contaminated", cited to [1]. Now cracks are bad, and contaminated fluid is bad, but I've never seen anything to suggest that contaminated fluid is a cause of pipe cracking. Pipe cracking is caused (in the US) by shade-tree mechanics using copper AC piping (which work hardens), incorrect flaring technique, poor installation (mostly an unclipped and unsupported pipe vibrating and work hardening) or even a pipe pulled taut over a hard sharp ridge. Now water in a pipe can cause internal rust, but even that is stretching it to call it a "cause of cracking", as opposed to other, more prominent faults.
