Cadillac Brakes EQualized.

Il Is we'll known among motorists
that II is extremely difficult, if not i'm
possible. 90 adjust n pair OF brakes so
that the tension will be uniform on
both wheels.
In the Cadillac this difficulty ia
clevcrly overcome by providing both
the service and the hand brakes with
eCualizers.
The cqualizers may be compared 20
the singletrees on wagon. When the
brakes are not adjusted exactly alike,
but approximately SO. the equalizers
automatically take IN the inequality so
that the tension Of the brake bands will
be uniform on both drums. This Is not
only an important factor in brake eff
cheney generally. but skidding on wet
pav"mcnts is much less apt so occur.
Another feature Strikingly IN evi-
deucc is the liberal size of the brake
drums They are l. inches in dlamater
by 3i2 inches wide. afording total
brakiug surface Of more than 500
square inches. The advantage of the
large drums lies in the fact that only
moderate pressure IL necessary 20 APP
uly the brakes effectively.

This Way to Service Dept y
May Not Mean

MUCH ABUSED TERM.
No Maker or Dealer Can
Render Real Service With

By EDWIN B. JACKSON,
President the Packard Motor Car
Company, Of New York

President the Packard Motor Car
Company, of New York.
When the motor car was young,
; and blushing under tho epithet
"horseless carriage" the chief benefit
accruing 20 the owner lay not in the
pleasure ne derived from tho operation
Of the car, but in the mechanical
training he received In keeping IL
running, infrequently as that was
accomplished
The effort Of the manufacture lay
along somewhat similar direction,
in that his attention was concerned
wholly with a vehicle that would travel,
at least occasionally: and the elements
to-day considered most important de-
sign, materials, construction were
given little thought either by the build
or or the user. To the both the pri-
mary consideration was 20 cover
ground. and usually when tho vehicle
didn't the owner did. In this era a
ten-mile run uss ar event. and one Of
fifty miles a thing 70 be recorded in
claimant headlines.
To the idea OF service purchase
no thought was given. and several
years slipped BY before any develop
ment of this phase Of the industry
was apparent. IL first appeared in the
guise Of a blanket but indefinite
guarantee, which assured the purchaser
Of nothing in particular except that
the manufacturer felt sufficient con
fdence in his product 70 throw IN such

az n
ing it's best form when the more
aggressive sales element took its re-
sponsibility, amplifed its terms and
guaranteed the purchaser repair ser
vice for year.
Bat coincident with the develop
ment OF the service idea 70 this point
was the development Of the motor car
itself, in a degree that soon made the
guarantee superfuous. Design and
construction we're advancing a. a pace
undresmed Of. and by the time the
years repair service idea had reached
effective form these had produced q
product mechanically sound enough 20
relieve, the necessity for repairs the
first year. So this type Of guarantee
was abandoned In most cases, and the
effort il had entaiied vas spent In
the development OF another sort Of
service.

This service was differentiated from
any that had preceded IL both b. It's
scope and nature. But il ATTEMPTED so
ambitious an attention that in those
cases where it was unsupported b.

tons il failed conspicuously. Those
