footbrake

The footbrake used a hydraulic control mechanism and operated on all four wheels.

Sashur pulled the car to the curb and stomped on the footbrake.

The lorry had not long come out of the tunnel when Tony suddenly clicked his tongue and applied the footbrake.

For the first time the footbrake operated, still using a cable linkage, on all four wheels, and the suspension system was also reworked.

Suddenly Halloran stamped on the footbrake, rapidly winding an full lock as he did so.

'He can't bend his right leg at the knee, so he couldn't use the footbrake very handy.

The footbrake operated on all four wheels via a cable linkage while the handbrake connected directly to the drive shaft.

The hand brake is instead intended for use in case of mechanical failure where the regular footbrake is inoperable or compromised.

The footbrake system moved to drums on the rear axle in 1913, but from 1923, four-wheel, servo-assisted brakes became optional.

The footbrake pedal, which was the only pedal in the car, operated brakes on all three wheels mechanically, using cables.

The footbrake is crazy and the ultrasensitive steering requires acclimatisation, but it wouldn't be a Citroen without the quirks.

First gear, footbrake and handbrake, he slithered down the shale and slippery boulder track that twisted between the pine trees.

If the keys are not re-inserted, the engine will switch off if the handbrake is disengaged or the footbrake is activated.

There was a clutch for the hoist and another for the dragline, a footbrake for each, and a slewing lever.

Brakes were on all wheels but at first the front brakes were operated by the handbrake and the rear by the footbrake, becoming fully coupled in 1930.

Contrary to an earlier entry the control pedals have NOT been moved and the accelerator is still in the middle with footbrake on the right and the gong on the left.

When doing the final J-turn, Kevin completely forgets how to do the manoeuvre and hits the footbrake instead of applying the handbrake, losing control and going off the course yet again.

This is particularly useful on the rear brakes, where the parking brake (handbrake or footbrake) must exert enough force to stop the vehicle from travelling backwards and hold it on a slope.

Apart from the steering, there's a footbrake, which operates the rear external drums, and a huge lever on the right, which gives three fixed-speed drive voltages providing theoretical speeds of 4.4, 11.2 and 25mph.

However, the driver was already exhausted by this time, finding that the steering levers needed his full weight to operate and that the seat, footbrake and gearlever all carried risk of physical injury in using them.

After some flddling around he found that the solitary pedal was the footbrake and that a lever on the steering wheel caused the machine to move forward or backward at speed proportionate to the degree of its shift.

Some features changed with this generation are the handbrake being replaced by a footbrake, and the wiper stalk on the right side of the steering column being moved to the turn signal stalk, which also means the lights move to the dash.

Margherita ultimately fails the challenge after repeatedly using the footbrake instead of the handbrake, and while Cheryl attempts to blame Andrew for upsetting her prior to the challenge, Margherita herself accepts full responsibility and admits to not focusing well enough.

Although sometimes known as an emergency brake, using it in any emergency where the footbrake is still operational is likely to badly upset the brake balance of the car and vastly increase the likelihood of loss of control of the vehicle, for example by initiating a rear-wheel skid.
