BY closing The throttIsi
Using the motor az an auxiliary BY
closing the throttle ID a very good
scheme, as 1t saves wear and, In some
cases. heating Of the brake shoes
Some people object to the use Of the
motor in this way because 1t imposes
small strain on the driving mocha
nism. but this is negligible. A more
powerful braking effect can be obtain
ed by switching OF the ignition and
this Is probably more popular thar
merely closing the throttle.

The motor design then plays a biz
part in the number of bearings to sup
port the crank shaft. The small block
motor with two bearing crank shat,
shows good results and the block and

shafts are also showing up well. TAX
