Usage question

[edit]

Is "The breaking gear on the engine was in working order." proper usage? Should it be "brake?" 104.220.48.168 (talk) 18:06, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The exact quote from the accident report is "the breaking gear was in good condition". I believe the breaking gear utilized engine friction to slow down. MB (talk) 20:54, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
