An inertia type of engine-output tester, 3duced by I-19 Frichs, Aarhus, Denmark, d marketed in the UK by Ingersollid, can also be used for brake testing.

The Frichs tester has a built-in rotating ass in the form of a flywheel which is celerated by the power unit in the measureant of output torque; when used as a brake ster, the flywheel is decelerated and pedal assure is recorded by a meter attached to a pad. A visual record is made in the form of chart of pedal pressure plotted against eking force which can readily be converted o brake efficiency if the load on the axle is own. A car-type tester is suitable for light mmercial vehicles up to 30cwt capacity; a .ger tester is designed for axle loads up to

I tons.

Any difference of braking force between iposite wheels is shown by a chart as well brake application lag and variations during e revolution of a wheel. It is possible to sess braking-force distribution by comring the charts of braking force of each axle. a test is made of the brakes of a doublelie bogie one of the drive shafts has to be moved.
