SAE J10 and shall have an air storage capacity of not less than two times the recommended air
volume specified for truck trailers in SAE J813. The reservoir shall be equipped with a remote
or manual controlled 90 degree twist drain valve mounted on the low end of the reservior. The
brake assemblies shall be equipped with brake lining selected by the contractor and shall be a
standard size as listed in the Automotive Data Book of the Friction Materials Standards Institute,
Inc. The lining shall be installed on the shoes by use of hardened steel bolts and nuts as
