Re: How common were brake boosters?

I think it's OK to talk about all drum trucks as well. In the 70's somebody explained to me that with drum brakes you can have manual or power type, and if you have disc brakes you must have power brakes because a human foot can't supply enough pressure on the pedal to supply the extra pressure required to operate disc brakes. So, I've gone a few years with that understanding, which I recently found out is incorrect. All the other cars I have owned have had manual drum brakes or power brakes.
