Answer:

A hydraulic brake system

Step-by-step explanation:

A wheel cylinder is a component of a hydraulic brake system. It is located in each wheel and is usually positioned at the top of the wheel, above the shoes. Its function is to exert force onto the shoes so as to bring them into contact with the drum and stop the vehicle with friction.
