Abstract
A brake disc is provided with a visual control means of its wear conditions on at least one of its opposite side faces in correspondence of the peripheral braking strip on which the braking pads act by friction. The visual control means is in the form of a notch in the circumference of the brake disc or a circumferential throat-like or angle groove formed in the outer edge of the brake disc.
