Braking wind

On the eve of our vehicle dynamic testing at New Jerusalem taxiways, I fabricated, installed and cabled up the primary brake lever. The adjustable stops at the base of the lever keep it within the limits of the brake assemblies at the rear.

These brakes will be the ones normally used to slow the vehicle -- the brake set on the front wheel is just a totally independent backup used only in case of emergency.
