Failure of Aux System pump meant you only had accumulator pressure (assuming no pipe break and associated fluid loss) for 2 (from memory) applications of the brakes (with selector to Emergency). There was an accumulator on the Normal System too.....

NWS was/is operated by the Normal System.....

Still good tech from an ancient loadie though!!!
