a brake stroke logging indicator for determining brake stroke condition on a vehicle braking system comprising a moveable logger within a housing which logger can be moved within the housing from an initial position to a moved position , by the pressure from a brake pushrod . after the pressure from the brake pushrod has been released however , the logger remains in position in the housing . as such , the logger indicates the distance of the longest brake stroke traveled since the system was reset , without the need of a second person , or brake pedal jamming device . the indicating logger will always indicate the longest stroke traveled , where the driver has no need to hold the brake pedal down for inspection . moreover , when the vehicle is stopped the indicating logger will indicate other mechanical problems that normally can be detected only when the vehicle is in motion .
