Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
As the pedal is depressed, it moves a piston within the master cylinder, forcing hydraulic fluid throughout the system and into cylinders at each wheel. Here, it causes the wheel cylinder pistons to move which, in turn, forces the brake shoes against the brake drums to retard their movement. 4, record 2, English, - wheel%20cylinder

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
When the driver presses the brake pedal, compressed air flows through the cylinders or through the service-brake chambers, moving the wedge to the left and causing the piston to slide inside the bore of the control mechanism and causing the brake shoes to be applied against the brake-drum braking surface. 1, record 3, English, - wedge%2Dactuated%20brake

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Lorsque le conducteur appuie sur la pédale de frein, l'air sous pression arrivant aux cylindres récepteurs de freinage déplace le coin vers la gauche, ce qui a pour effet de faire coulisser le piston à l'intérieur de l'alésage du mécanisme de commande et d'appliquer les segments de frein garnis contre les tambours de frein de roue. 1, record 3, French, - frein%20%C3%A0%20coin

Cuando el conductor pisa el pedal de freno, el aire comprimido que llega a las válvulas de freno o diafragma mueve la cuña hacia la izquierda, lo que a su vez hace deslizar el pistón dentro del cilindro del mecanismo y empuja las zapatas de freno contra el tambor. 1, record 3, Spanish, - freno%20de%20cu%C3%B1a
