I don't think 50 year old Fords have Alfred Teves (ATE) boosters in
them.
Oops, might have to eat those words, if the original Bendix product will
interchange. Interesting how buying the rights to a Bendix product is "scoring
another innovative breakthrough".

1951 Teves acquired the rights to the Hydrovac vacuum booster from the U.S.
Bendix company and marketed it in Germany as the ATE T50. The vacuum booster
came in response to the fact that cars were getting heavier and heavier, and
more and more physical effort was needed to apply the brakes. It uses the vacuum
generated on the intake side of the engine to boost the brake force, making for
a vast improvement in driver comfort. This technology rapidly displaced the
principle of self-energizing foundation brakes which was being pursued by the
automobile industry. scoring another innovative breakthrough for Teves.
