We had Jake Brakes in our Armoured Vehicle General Purpose (AVGP). [Grizzly, Cougar, Husky].

The brake was, of course, integral to the Detroit Diesel 6V53t (?) engine.

Great fun doin' "harum-scarum" at 200 AM, rolling through a small town during a bug-out, and the whole platoon backing off and engaging the jakes. Man, we were irresponsible and stupid then!

Now, living in the country, when I hear some jerk engaging his jake on an uphill (!) rise, I cringe and tend to flip a finger.
