There's a Milano in a driveway on my way to work. Can't say if it runs, though... What are 'aircraft style brakes'?

A guy I used to work with owned one, and shared some battle stories. He's still in this building so I'll have to ask him for more details about that. Must be the type of mechanism used.
I should also find out what he's driving nowadays, I'm sure something eccentric.

Saw a red W113 "pagoda" SL zooming down 405 in the fast lane today.#27026 of 29688 Re: Went to a local cruise-in, this AM [texases] by omarman

What are 'aircraft style brakes'? anti lock brakes?

Beats me. Only thing I know about aircraft brakes is that most all are disk brakes, but that's nothing unusual on a car, even by the late 60s.

Saw a Merkur Scorpio this afternoon, not many of those still on the road. Also a nice light tan W123 sedan.#27029 of 29688 must a left over effect from the full moon... by explorerx4

I think the guy driving it is an owner or mechanic at the local Alfa repair shop.... (obviously, the only one in town..)

E-mailed my Alfa buddy to elaborate on what he said, but he's out of the office until the 11th. Hopefully he gets the message on his smart phone sooner than that.
