In an hydraulic anti-skid braking system of the pump and de-boost type, the de-boost piston is held in an advanced inoperative position by a volume of fluid trapped in a space and supplied by a pump. A bleed device communicating with the space is held in an open position during initial bleeding of the system by a friction device which acts as a stop and which is releasable when the bleed device is subjected to a predetermined pressure. This enables initial bleeding to be carried out automatically and without an operator operation to open and close a bleed device. After initial bleeding, the device can be opened manually to enable subsequent bleeding to be carried out, with the spring assembly acting on the de-boost piston also acting to close the bleed device following release of the manual force. |
