Electro magnetic brake.—Frein a vide. Vacuum brake.—Mettre (6ter) le frein. To put on (to take off) the brake. Frein de tir (Frein). Recoil brake or buffer.—Frein a frottement. Friction recoil brake (e.g., ropes, compre ors). —Frein a lames, Frein 4 machoires. Types of compre or recoil brakes.—Frein a cordes. Wire rope recoil-brake.— Frein a patins et a cordes. Rope brake of the axletree and dragshoe cla .—Frein 4 tambour. Rope brake working on a drum attached to the axletree——Frein 4 béche de cro e. Spade-brake.—Frein a recul court.

Hydropneumatic buffer (oil and compre ed air, generally used of buffers with compre ed air recuperator).—Frein a effort constant. Ordinary type of buffer for modern guns, with varying orifice—Frein a orifice variable. Buffer in which the orifice alters with the elevation (i.e., “ controlled recoil ” bufier).—Frein a tiroir (a bague tournante, a valve). Buffer in which varying orifice is obtained by a false piston attached to piston head and turning in the cylinder.—Frein 4 contretige. Buffer in which oil has acce to hollow of piston rod but is regulated by a tapered plunger (7.e., same system in recoil as is normally used in control of run up).—Frein 4 fraisure.
