571 has brakes similar to these. They are about 1.5" square of the rubber belt treads attached to a piece of wood on the bottom of a pneumatic cylinder. We have them between our omni's (reverse shopping-cart drive) and they worked really well for us.

We don't have any pictures of this specifically but I'll try and take some Monday at our meeting.
