Single-circuit Brake System
History
This is how a well developed break system looked like in the year 1960, there were neither disk brakes nor brake power regulators. A
dual-circuit system was not yet introduced either. Thoughts about a failure of the whole circuit were simply not taken into account. Especially vehicles in the lower price segment just had overcome the cable brake
with all its adjustment problems.

| Pressure is distributed evenly on connected systems. |
The hydraulic system makes sure that the braking power is spread absolutely equallly. The duplex-drum brake in front had easy to
survey actuating forces. A bottom valve at the brake master cylinder ensured a certain pre-pressure in the system, the brake shoes were pressed a little, shortening the
reaction time of the brake. 09/06
