PCT No. PCT/US82/01367 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 30, 1982 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 30, 1982 PCT Filed Sep. 30, 1982 PCT Pub. No. WO84/01412 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 12, 1984.A brake pad 58 (see FIG. 6) has a lining with particulate graphite material embedded therein. A leading portion 62 of the brake lining has a higher concentration of the graphite particles embeded therein than a remaining portion 64 of the lining 60. A brake rotor is lubricated simultaneously as it contacts the leading edge 65 of the brake lining to maximize the effectiveness of the lubricant at the leading edge 65 of the brake lining.
