Abstract
An hydraulically operated disc brake includes a yoke slidably mounted on a stationary member for movement in a direction parallel to the disc and two pistons for actuating the brakes. The first piston acts directly on a friction pad and the second piston acts directly on the yoke and indirectly on a second friction pad through the yoke. The yoke is mounted on the second piston and on a retaining member which extends between the yoke and the stationary member to locate the friction pads against radial movement. The retaining member is rigidly secured to the stationary member and a resilient connection is provided between the stationary member and the yoke.
