Full Title

Full titles differ between systems:

IPC:

Brakes with substantially-radial braking surfaces pressed together in axial direction, e.g. disc brakes > with axially-movable discs or pads pressed against axially-located rotating members > by clamping an axially-located rotating disc between movable braking members, e.g. movable brake discs or brake pads

CPC:

Brakes with substantially-radial braking surfaces pressed together in axial direction, e.g. disc brakes (similar clutches F16D13/38) > with axially-movable discs or pads pressed against axially-located rotating members > by clamping an axially-located rotating disc between movable braking members, e.g. movable brake discs or brake pads

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.
