The term 'kind of brake' can refer to four different types of brakes: DISK, DRUM, DISC, and CANE. DISK brakes are a type of brake that uses two brake pads to press against a metal DISK, which is connected to the wheel, in order to slow or stop the vehicle. DRUM brakes are similar to DISK brakes, but instead of pressing against a metal DISK, they use a cylinder-shaped component called a DRUM. DISC brakes are a type of brake that uses a caliper to press two brake pads against a DISC, which is connected to the wheel, in order to slow or stop the vehicle. Finally, CANE brakes are a type of brake that uses a lever to press a CANE against the wheel in order to slow or stop the vehicle.
