_ B RAKE VA LVE A brake valve is connecfed to each of the rear wheel brake lines, se Fig. 5-6. When the ingoing brake pressure e_ceeds 29 kp/cm2 (41 2 p.s.i.) a reduction takes place in the valve. The more po- werful the pedal pressure, the greater wi Il be the reduction and thereby the larger the dífference between the hydraulic pressure in the front wheel and rear wheel cyl inders. This resu Its in a suitable distribution of braking force between both pairs of wheeIs. The construction of the b,ake va_ve is ., _ shown is fig. 5-41 and its function is the fol Iow- Pressure below 29 kpJcm_ Ing_ (4i2 p s i ) When the footbrakes are applied, the pressure from th t _. d d h FIg. f_42.
