housing to the hub. It makes the
brake slip. 1t comes from too much
oil in the diFerential or using too
light an oil. If it persists after these
things are remedied, it may be neces-
sary to put a felt washer in the axle
housing to stop the leak. If the re-
pair man does not know how to put
this in, the writer will be glad to send
instructions to you. A future article
probably will cover this point. An oily
brake lining must be cleaned. Remove
1T and wash thoroughly with gasoline.
The garage man probably would burn
1T out with a torch; you might try it
IT you have a torch, or by putting
plenty of kerosene on the lining and
letting it burn out.
The brake lining is one place where
luprlcatlon is not desirable, but every
other place on the brake and linkage
where there Is motion should be lubri-
facturer's fabrication Chart. and be
cleaned likewise. There is considerable
wear to the c~levises and pins; they
may be renewed for a few cents and
should not be allowed to wear to the
danger point; besides worn linka9e
%rattles.
To adjust the brakes, jack up the rear
wheels and set the emergency brake at
c"e polHI where IL IS just possible to
turn one Of the wheels by hand. Just
in front of the brake band there is a
~turnbuckle or other device for adjust
ment; turn this on the other side of
the car so that the other band holds
it's wheel with equal force, or, in other
words, until both hold alike. If there
is play in the linkage, take this up
with the %turnbucklc to be found Just
ahead of the equalizing bar. Some
times there are no turnbuckles and the
adjustment is made by removing the
clevis pin and turning the %clevis, which
is on a thread.
Sometimes the pedal hits the floor
board and does not give enough power
to the brake. Take up the floor boards
and adjustment will usually be found to
correct this evil.
Frequent inspection and attention to

other is all right. Tho other might 90
bad just when needed.
The two brake bands in each set
should hold with equal force. or one
wheel will slip. To insure it. the pedal
or lever linkage operates an equalizinp
bar, with other linkage to each band,
With the bar straight across the car
the braklng force should be equal on
each band. VIZ
Brake bands are lined with non-burn-
ing friction material, usually an ashes
tos fabric, fastened to the steel bands
by copper %rivets. the heads of which are
countersunk deep into the lining to
keep the heads from contact with the
drum. If the lining is allowed to wear
thin the copper rivet heads score the
drum into shallow grooves, lessening
the braking power. Such must be
turned true on a lathe if they are to
be worth much for braking purposes.
Equally important is the renewal of
the brake lining before it is worn thin
enough to expose the rivets to friction.
Better have this done at the service sta
ton. 1t is a particular and tedious Job.
1T Is possible, however, to get the right
size lining and proper rivets at almost
any supply house. Remove the brake
bands, punch out the old ~rivets, no.
ticing how they were put in, and go
to it. Remember that the rivet heads
must be countersunk deep into the
lining and every rivct set up tight. 1t
requires patience, but can be done by
tn. novice.
Many drivers do not understand the
principle of alternating brakes on long
hills. 1t is simply that long continued
friction generates heat which will
cause the lining to smoke, char and
become brittle, wearing away easily.
1t does not burn, but does deteriorate.
Alternating keeps down the heat.
Smoke from the brake is a warning to
alternate. AS each car has it's own
peculiarities, study Of brake action
should be made to ascertain best meth
DDS of handling them on your car.
Some cars nave difficulty with oil on
the brake bands, working from the
d~ifferential case through the axle

Carroll, of Fyrac, Tells of the
Growth of Organization
in This Territory

Every fact upsets a carload of the
DRY. The success of Fyrac, the spark
plug with the 'one-inch firing surface,
has helped to discount the one-point
spark plug theory" says L. H. Car

Fyrac Manufacturing Company.
"Fyrac spark plug distribution is
going ahead in this, territory. We

Akron had a population of 69,067. To-
