What is the function of anti skid brake manifold in aircraft?

Answer On "older" aircraft, the pilot applies brakes that moves cranks and pulleys that opens the Brake Valve. The Brake Valve ports regulated pressure to the Anti-Skid Manifolds. The Manifolds provides the pressure to the brakes. If the Anti-Skid computer detects a skid condition, the computer commands a pair of matching brakes to release pressure to allow the wheels to spin back up. The anti-skid releases brakes in pairs to keep an equal braking applied to each side of the aircraft. If the braking is unsymmitrical, this could cause the a/c to go into a spin.
