When the wheels are skidded the retardation of the train is always reduced; therefore, for the greatest braking effect, the pressures on the brake-shoes should never be sufficient to cause the wheels to slide on the rails.
On electric tramcars a braking effect is sometimes obtained by arranging the connexions of the motors so that they act as generators driven by the moving car.

There was nothing to do now but ride out the rest of the trip as comfortably as possible, until it was time to throw the asteroid into a series of ever-tightening elliptical orbits around Earth, known as braking ellipses.
Also, we'll need a nuclear charge to throw us into a braking ellipse.
Tom and Roger looked out over the quadrangle toward the Academy spaceport where ship after ship, braking jets blasting, sought the safety of the ground.
The ramps were cleared and within minutes the two ships reappeared over the horizon, nosing upward over the spaceport in an arc, their braking rockets blasting loudly as they prepared to land.
In its narrowest sense it means holding the skis in the [V] position and braking with one of them.
More broadly it means braking with both in the [V] position.
It also means braking with the skis in Telemark position.
In fact in its broadest sense it means any sort of braking except side-slipping with the skis parallel.
For in braking or steering, when properly done, the effect is produced by the distribution of the weight, and by vertical pressure on the ski rather than by forcibly twisting or pushing it sideways.
On hard snow, then, snow-ploughing is only effective for braking purposes under certain conditions.
Braking by snow-ploughing; at first nearly from a standstill on the hillside, then on the level after a direct descent in normal running position.
The sail was up and, while braking the load upwind, I slipped and fell, allowing the sledge to collide with a large sastruga.
The former slid away on skis and had a fine run to the bottom, while Hodgeman followed on the sledge drawn by Monkey and D'Urville, braking with an ice-axe driven into the snow between the cross-bars.
The load commenced to glide so quickly as we were leaving the crest of the mountain that Correll and McLean unhitched from the hauling line and attached themselves by the alpine rope to the rear of the sledge, brakingits progress.
Braking action is secured by means of a diaphragm and pressure plate.
Grades up to this degree of steepness are safe to operate over in dry weather without added braking power if the trailer is properly equipped.
Opening the throttle to full emergency position will apply maximum braking effect without sliding the wheels.
By means of a quickly adjusted hose connection, air can be applied to the wheels of the trailer using the control which governs the braking of the truck.
The braking action is very positive and the load can be stopped in a few revolutions of the crank shaft.
In order to provide for adverse conditions the actual braking distances was increased by 50 per cent.
Crag looked worriedly at the radar altimeter and hit the braking rockets harder.
Prochaska was draining the tail braking jets of every ounce of energy.
Crag glanced worriedly at the radar altimeter and hit the braking rockets harder.
Then it would accelerate again, picking up speed until slowed by its braking rockets.
All at once his hands and mind were busy with the braking rockets, dials, meters.
The braking rockets astern, heavy with smoke, thundered through the hull.
Flame spewed from its braking rockets; white smoke enveloped its nose.
He took a deep breath and applied full deceleration with the braking jets and simultaneously began manipulating the steering rockets.
It was too high, moving too fast despite the lavish waste of braking power.
He studied the instruments, then his fingers sought the buttons controlling Charlie's forward braking rockets.
It was already in vertical attitude, letting down amid a cloud of white vapor from its stern braking rockets.
The braking rockets shook the ship, coming through the bulkheads as a faint roar.
Drone Charlie was decelerating rapidly, her braking rockets flaring spasmodically to slow her headlong flight.
He took a fast look at the radar altimeter and punched the full battery of braking rockets again.
In fact, the braking effect of tidal friction varies inversely as the sixth power of the distance, so that the ability of the earth to stop the rotation of the moon on its axis is immensely greater than that of the sun.
His grasp on the braking rods overhead relaxed slightly, and he began to look around him--as much as the dust would allow.
John only breathed comfortably when he saw his companion seated in comparative safety on the other braking gear.
In the first, the pressure is applied by a handle or treadle, and is removed by a spring or weight; this is called "braking on.
The thing, whatever it was, was now braking frantically with wings, tail, and body; trying madly to get away.
Gimp Hines and David Lester were waiting inside the stellene reception dome when Nelsen and Ramos landed lightly at the port on their own feet, with no more braking assistance than their own shoulder-ionics.
Soon, the thrust would be needed in reverse, for braking action, near the end of the sixty hour journey into a circumlunar orbit.
The carriers are controlled on steep grades by an electric braking device, which acts automatically, its effect varying with the speed at which the telpher runs.
Almost without warning, the speeding car began braking down with such deceleration that the gargantuan patrol car with its greater mass came close to smashing over it and crushing the small passenger vehicle like an insect.
All drive, communication and fire fighting controls for the massive vehicle were centered in the knobs and buttons on the seat arms, while acceleration and braking controls were duplicated in two footrest pedals beneath their feet.
Ben ran up to the stopped car through a thick haze of smoke from the retrojets of the patrol car and the friction-burning braking of both vehicles.
Also, we’ll need a nuclear charge to throw us into a braking ellipse.
There was nothing to do now but ride out the rest of the trip as comfortably as possible until it was time to throw the asteroid into an ever-tightening series of elliptical orbits around earth, known as braking ellipses.
From then on I’ll throw the asteroid into a braking ellipse around the earth and I’ll be able to make any small corrections necessary.
At this distance, it will be about six gravities, and we can add to that a molecular drive brakingof four gravities.
All the relays were standard, the gyroscopic stabilizers were standard, and the electromagnetic braking equipment for the gyros was standard.
I can then gauge the amount of braking power necessary.
As the braking rockets quickly stopped all forward acceleration, the main rockets were cut in and the giant ship dropped toward the surface of the tropical planet tailfirst.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "braking" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
