Cal. Veh. Code § 26521 — Vacuum Brakes is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
Motor vehicles required to be equipped with power brakes and equipped with vacuum or vacuum-assisted brakes and motor vehicles used to tow vehicles equipped with vacuum brakes or vacuum-assisted brakes shall be equipped with either an audible or visible warning signal to indicate readily to the driver when the vacuum drops to eight inches of mercury and less. A vacuum gauge shall not be deemed to meet this requirement.
This section shall not apply to a two-axle motor truck operated singly nor to any motor vehicle manufactured prior to 1964.
