Abstract
THE problems involved in selecting the proper material for brake drums are discussed here from the standpoints of physics and metallurgy.
The author shows that, for the present, at least, high-total-carbon cast irons fulfill the requirements of the braking surface to a greater extent than any alloy discovered so far.
