The term of this patent is extended or adjusted under 35 U.S.c. 154(b) by 40 days. Wear of a rubbing member of a triction couple, such as an iron brake disc (15), is determined by attaching a carrier member (25) to the rubbing surface of the disc by electromagnet. After an initial scan to map the surface the carrier is removed and re-attached after a period of brake usage. If the surface to which the carrier is attached is
