panN. Those are the elements of
safety. In using an automobile the
hrst and most important consideration
IS whether or not II IS safe. The ele-
ments Of safety are the first things
J always point out in talking TO a
prospective customer. And all other
Things being equal one should Ger
menrs of safety have been most salts

These elements are. briefly. a strong
EalAe- stronS steering connection.
strong wheels wei fastened TO the
axles and big ana strong brakes.
Not only do / believe that the record
10 other makes in motor efficiency and
general dependa biljty, but certainly no

Note the frame Of channel section
heat treated steel. larger and better
made than IN any other car of the
same weight and power The steering
connections are the best, strong enough
for a 60 horsepower car. The wheels
are OF extra strength and the rear
wheels are. IN addition to the usual
hub Ranges and bolts, bOlted to the
brake drIlms The brakes arc really
in class hv themselves. The foot
controlled trauSmlSs bra Ike is strong
enough and sufficient for all ordinary
uses. Bu1 IN addition TO this there IS
the emergency brake on the rear axle,
with stronger and wider bands than on
any car of the 50 me power But such
IS the power of the transmission brake
that y is a rare thing 10 see Chal-
sneIS driver use the emergency brake
for the purpose Of stopping his car.
ln my opinion these clements Of
safety have done as much as victories
ia road and track races, endurance con-
tests and lill climbs to give Chalmers
cars tbeir reputation for absolute de-
penda6illty.
