ASYSTEM of air-pressure-hydraulic braking, known as the Airhydro, has been developed by Clayton Dewandre Co., Ltd., Titanic Works, Lincoln. Similar in design and principle to the vacuum-hydraulic master servo, the Airhydro converts air pressure into hydraulic pressure, thus combining the advantages of hydraulic brake operation with an air-pressure system.

The unit can be made available with either the Lockheed or Girling hydraulic master cylinder, and when used in conjunction with a tandem master cylinder, the safety factor of ir:dependent operation of front and rear wheels is retained.
