Air Brake Systems - Introduction (Recommended for Sticky)

[Brad_SwiftFur]

Found an excellent video that explains air brake systems and the basics on how they work.

I can only think of a couple things to add. Modern vehicles built in the last ... 30 years or so might run slightly higher air pressures. And rear brakes are of the service and parking type, not covered in this particular video.
