STUDEBAKER COMMENTS
On Fo,1r-Whe Brakes

There i. little difference mechanically between
{ wheel brake and four-wheel brake n,echanisrns.
Front-wheel brake. are merely added capacity, of
conventional design All four brakes operated by
tho foot pedal.
The emergency brakes wheels-or transr1ai:-
sion, operated by the hand leoer, retained in all
four-wheel brake systems.
Controversy already exists between four wheel
brake advocates the relative merit of external or
internally of brake pressure on front wheels
Theduplication parts, added weight, Increased
friction of four-,heel brakes common knowledge
ffour-vvheel brakes necessary safe, and simple
in operation, their existence would be justified
with these impedine1ta.
The factory makes proper adjustment of clearances
between brake Innings and drums.
After tho factory ships the car, its responsibility
for brake adjustn,ents, and tho responsibility
10 shifted to the owner.
Electric starters, battery ignition, and vacuum
tanks acknowledged Developments in the evolu-
ton of the automobile. They built complete,
encased in housings by the factory, practically
automatic and require few adjustments. Four-wheel
brakes are in an entirely different category.
Numerous ssalsrs and f,ctosy branch s.lssmep
selling four-xvheel brake already advsing
buyera that tho front brakes may be disconnected,
they are not wanted This would niean Of courss,
that the weight and inpedinenta would bs car
ried around uselessly.
Other front-wheel brakes adjusted for such
weak pressure that they cannot lock tho front wheels
and the brakes are thus merely canloufage.
Four-whee brakes will cause trouble and
accidents in a month than they will prevent in
Intact, the Rolls-Royce Company states that "they
show such decidedly dangerous disadvantages that
they considered unsafe put in the hands Of the
general public, and not nearly tho equal of the
powerful, efficient, lasting and easily equalized brake
design now employed in our design"
Four-wheel brakes have been bone of contention
in England since 1910 and yet today only of the
$50 odd English makes of them at all Several
manufacturers them optional equipment, or
furnish them Of their models only.
Adherents of four-vhesl brakes claim that they
D permit quicker stopping and (2) prevent skdding
These the only claims made for brakes.
With front-wheel brakes fully applied, quicker stop
ping IL possible. This IL not denied.
That quick stopping which locks the front wheels
is advantage, is vigorously denied. Such stopping
is positively dangerous, because steering control is
immediately lost.
The claim that four-wheel brakes prevent skidding
and aiding is denied No matter tat kind Of brakes

wheel brakes decrease to degree the efficiency of
the Poorer acceleraton, reduced hill climbing
ability, and increased gasoline consumption result.
s. Harder Steering and Control. The increase in
unsprung weight, added parts, and friction neces-
sar increase the strength required to steer the
and to operate the brakes
g. Expense of Maintenance. Extra service work in
reparng, adjusting, and refining brakes puts the
in the shop oftener and increases the expense of
maintenance.
Patent Situation
Four-heel brakes have been in existence for about
twenty years. during which time thousands of patents
have been taken in Europe and the United States
many of which have EXPIRED and it is very doubtful if
there any basic patents preventing the of
four-wheel brakes.
European Experience
European manufacturers have experimental with
four-wheel brakes for two decades English manu-
facturers generally refuse them, although there
are q few exceptions.
French manufacturers use them more generally, but
many cars equipped with "servo mechanisns"
which are an added attachment intended to prevent
locking Of front Wheels insure equalization, the
PRESSURE etc., but this device introduces further
complications of weight, lubrication and expense.

M precautions not taten skiddns i, liable

Studebaker's Position
Studebaker research and engineering departments
have been studying, experimenting WITH and testing
four-wheel brake mechanisms for two years.
These tests merely convince that four-wheel
brakes are unnecessary, mechanically inpracticable.
and dangerous in the hands of unsled drivers.
The 1924 model Studebaker cars are equipped with
brakes on the rear wheels only. The foot pedal op-
crates the external contracting brakes and easily locks
both wheels.
The hand lever operates the internal expanding
brakes, and likewise locks the wheels easily.
The foot brakes are used in driving and the hand
brakes to hold the still when parked grades,
also in emergencies, if necessary.
Studebaker brakes safe, simple, and practicable.
There are more reliable brakes in use on any
automobiles.

advantages which make them mechanically ir1prac-
