        I think you are refering to the wear indicators, pads wear down, the metal bit touch the disc squeal like a pig, time to change the pads.
        Say not always what you know, but always know what you say.

                            On a different note, where's the Earth Magnet Man gone?
                            Sorry to go off topic, but I think we've covered the wear indicators!
