away easily afterward,

One of the common troubles en-
countered in the brake assembly is
a tendency to chattering. which is
extremely annoying. This is gener-
ally induced by deposit OF burnt
oil on the bands, and It may gen
orally be cured by applying hot
kerosene oil to the parts. If this
does not serve. the only remedy is to
burn off the deposits with blow
torch. This operation is carried
out by removing the bands and
soaking them in gasoline overnight
and then applying the torch. The
propeller haft brake is peculiarly
liable to this trouble, as, if the rams
mission case contains a little too
much oil. the excess lubricant Is
thrown through the shaft bushing
onto te bands If an application OF
graphite is used instead OF oil for
lubricating the brake bands. it will
lessen this trouble.
