411A , you got it wrong.
" The brake temperature indication do not provide instantaneous readings of brake conditions,as brake temperature tends to rise for 10 to 15 minutes after brake application.The values tend to increase for 10 to 15 min after the brakes are used."- FCOM
This is generally true,pure physics, and I doubt very much that the good"ole L1011 had some kind of out of earth brakes that disipated the energy imediately after braking.
If you'll taxi to the stand after high speed reject you'll increase the amount of heat in the breaks and,most likely ,you'll melt the fuses.It happened more than once.
