compression-release engine brakes. Its initial development was started
in 1931 by Clessie Cummins (the founder of Cummins Engine Co.), and
handed down to his nephew Don Cummins, son of Clessie's brother
Deloss. The elder Cummins was looking for a way to bring his
heavy-duty diesel trucks to a stop without excessive engine wear. 30
years on, the official Jake Brake compression-release engine brake
entered production.

as you apply them. Its loudness depends on the exhaust system type and
how well it is maintained. It was this aspect that caused many cities
to ban the use of Jake Brakes in certain parts of the town. But not
all Jake Brakes sound like this, though. The RAT-A-TAT-TAT-TAT sound
would refer to the compression-release Jakes, not the exhaust ones.
