The Control System

1. Read and translate the text written. Make the thesis of the text:

Steering is controlled by a hand wheel, mounted on an inclined column and attached to a steering tube inside the column. The other end of the tube is connected to the steering gear, which is designed to provide maximum ease of operation. Power steering, adapted for passenger cars in the early 1950s, is generally a hydraulic mechanism used as a booster to reduce the effort of steering.

A car has two sets of brakes: the hand or emergency brake and the foot brake. The emergency brake generally operates on the rear wheels only. The foot brake in modern cars is always of the four-wheel type, operating on all wheels. Hydraulic brakes on cars and hydraulic vacuum, air, or power brakes on lorries apply the braking force to the wheels with much less force on the brake pedal than is required with ordinary mechanical brakes. The wheel brakes are generally of the internally expanding type, in which a convex strip of material is forced against a concave steel brake drum.

Brakes

1. Read and translate the text. Pay attention to new words:

brakes — барабанные тормоза band brake — ленточный тормоз disk brakes - дисковые тормоза shoe brake — колодочный тормоз hydraulic assisted brakes — тормоза с гидравлическим приводом Brake shoes — колодки тормоза Brake fluid — тормозная жидкость Brake pedal – тормозная педаль Master cylinder – главный цилиндр

Brakes are used to slow or stop the car where it is necessary. It is one of the most important mechanisms of the car as upon its proper performance the safety of passengers depends. Car brakes can be divided into two types, namely: drum brakes and disc brakes. The drum type may be either a band brake or a shoe brake. Depending on their functions, the automobile has foot brakes and hand brakes (parking brakes). According to their mode of operation, the brakes are classified as: mechanical brakes, hydraulic brakes, airbrakes, electric brakes. Brakes are controlled by the brake pedal.

Most braking systems in use today are hydraulic. This system consists of a master cylinder mounted on the car frame and wheel cylinders. When the driver pushes down on the brake pedal, it forces the piston to move in the master cylinder and brake fluid is delivered from 11 to the wheel cylinders. The piston movement causes brake shoes to move and the brakes are applied (the brake shoes are pressed against the brake drums).

The air brake uses compressed air to apply the braking force to the brake shoes.

Electric brakes use electromagnets to provide the braking effort against the brake shoes.

Formerly brakes were applied only to the two rear wheels, but now all cars are equipped with all-wheels brakes. Today many improvements are being made in brakes.

2. Find the following in the text:

Тормоза, безопасность пассажиров зависит от правильной работы тормозов, барабанные тормоза, дисковые тормоза, тормоза с усилителем, гидравлический привод тормозов, жидкость под давлением, тормоза срабатывают, тормозное усилие, нажать на тормозную педаль.

3.Тормоза можно разделить на два типа, а именно: барабанные тормоза и дисковые тормоза.______

4.На большинстве автомобилей используется гидравлический привод или пневматический привод.______

5.Тормоза срабатывают, когда водитель нажимает на тормозную педаль.______

5. Play the dialogue:

DIALOGUE

Alex: Why are brakes used?

Bob: They are used to stop or to slow the car.

A: Well, it is one of the most important mechanisms of the car, isn't it?

B:Of course, the safety of the passengers depends upon their proper performance.

A:What types of brakes are used today?

B:Drum brakes, disk brakes and others.

A:And in what way are they applied?

B:They are applied by the brake pedal. When the driver pushes down on the pedal they are applied.

A:Thank you. It was very nice of you to tell me this information.

B:Don't mention it. I was glad to serve you
