Types of callipers, I know two major types. Floating or sliding and fixed callipers. I'm in UK doing the NTTA exam and they had a question.

Which one of the following is not a type of calliper?
A. Sliding
B. Swinging
C. Expanding
D. Twin piston

A. Sliding or fixed can be twin piston single or more, C. Expanding I believe they mean fixed also can be single or twin pistons or more. B. Swinging no I dear.
