Abstract
A reservoir for a master cylinder including an upper reservoir section forming a portion of a float damping chamber and a lower reservoir section forming a portion of the float damping chamber. The upper reservoir section and the lower reservoir section are so dimensioned so that when they are fastened together, they define the float damping chamber at least one metering orifice formed along their mating surfaces. This metering orifice allows fluid to flow between the float damping chamber and the reservoir of the master cylinder in a controlled manner. Thus, a float device provided within the float damping chamber will not be susceptible to initiating false signals.
