Keith -

"TreadleVac" was the moniker given by Bendix. I don't know whether it was a matter of trademark rights or marketing spin, but Packard used the term "Easamatic" to describe the power brake system - even engraved in the rubber brake pedal pad through the 55th Series.

Packard also used the term "Mag-Nu-Matic" to decribe the Trico windshield washer system they used on these cars - vacuum-powered, but activated by small solenoid.
