- Master Cylinder
-
- The master cylinder
- is the main part of
- the brake system.
- All foot-brake
- systems in today's
- cars are hydraulic.
-
- The master cylinder
- is where the
- pressure is
- created, when the
- driver steps on the
- brake pedal. This
- pressure then gets
- pushed through the
- brake lines to the
- brakes themselves
- and the brakes are
- applied.
-
- Some cars also have
- hydraulically
- operated clutches
- that use the same
- principles to
- operate the clutch.
