This paper reviews constructions and design concepts of each brake type and the similarity of wedge geometry to that of heavy duty hydraulic brakes. Factors influencing brake effectiveness are discussed. A comparison is made of weights, response time, actuation efficiency, effect on drums, maintenance requirements, and special features, including adaptability of wedge actuation to split systems.
