An emergency brake system which effects an automatic engagement of the wheel brakes of a vehicle upon failure of the main brake system. The auxiliary brake system also provides for the engagement of the brakes when the engine is shut off as in parking. The auxiliary brake cylinders act radially on the brake shoes thus simplifying the construction over the prior art. The source of fluid pressure for the auxiliary brake system is conveniently mounted on the master cylinder of the conventional system thus lending the invention to a simple installation.
