your brakes to squeak. This dis
agreeable noise is usually due to un-
even friction and may sometimes be
remedied by changing the adjustment
SO that gripping effect is equalized
throughout the entire circumference
of the brake drum. Another source
of squGIking is the copper rivets
which hold the brake lining in place.
When lining is worn down few drops
of castor oil may act as temporary
remedy, although readjustment or re-
newal will eventually prove the more
satisfactory.
