1. How do you use TR's?
2. On an AB do the auto brakes reduce as REV Thr is increased?
3. Is this phenomenon equal across the fleet?
4. Do you have brake temp gauges per wheel or per brake unit?
5. If per unit is there a difference, on the hotter side, between the front units and the rear units?
6. Do the brake units have depth pins on them? have you noticed a correlation between the depth reading and the difference in hotness of one side v the other?

Further; I'm dubious about the upwind wing creating more lift than the other. I understand the theory, especially on swept wing a/c, but...the spoilers come up PDQ to dump the lift and increase the brake effect. With in seconds both wings are well below stall speed.
