cadencen.

Brit.

/ˈkeɪdns/, U.S.

/ˈkeɪdns/

Etymology: < French cadence, < Italian cadenza ‘falling, cadence in music’, on Latin type cadentia , noun, < cadent- present participle of cadĕre to fall. The literal sense is ‘action or mode of falling, fall’, and in this sense it was used by 17th cent. writers; but at an early period the word was in Italian appropriated to the musical or rhythmical fall of the voice, and in this sense occurs as early as Chaucer. Cadence is in form a doublet of chance n., adj., and adv., the direct phonetic descendant of cadentia.

I. In verse and music.

a. ‘The flow of verses or periods’ (Johnson); rhythm, rhythmical construction, measure.

cadence braking1965

1965 M. J. McDermott in Autocar 5 Nov. 990/1 The technique of ‘cadence braking’..is to excite the vehicle into a vertical oscillatory motion by a series of suitably timed bursts of braking, until a considerable amplitude of the motion has developed. Hard braking as the vehicle descends then ‘kills’ the oscillation.

1971 Daily Tel. 22 Oct. (Colour Suppl.) 22/3 The urgent task [in a skid] is therefore to get them unlocked..and then to slow the car—if necessary by other means,..usually by cadence braking, which means gently but firmly applying and then releasing the brakes in sequence.

1982 Advanced Motoring (Inst. Advanced Motorists) (rev. ed.) vi. 26 Rally drivers..use what they call ‘cadence’ braking, in which the hard pushes on the brake pedal are timed to coincide with the spring frequency on the front suspension.
