[QUOTE="rod, post: 2566151, member: 5382"] In the 70's our trucks all had the micro (mico?) brakes on them. To activate all you did lift the little lever on the dash and step on the brake pedal. It instantly locked your brakes. The trouble was that guys being guys we would set the micro brake lever on your buddies truck when he wasn't looking just before he started to pull away from the building. As he would be leaving he would at sometime before getting out of the lot step on his brake pedal, instantly locking up his brakes and sending his face toward the windshield. I think this bit of horseplay had something to do with why UPS took them all out and we had to rely on just your normal emergency brakes--most of which never held crap. This video is too long but it gives you a general idea of how they worked. [MEDIA=youtube]dpG7h1cWVVM[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
