TOURING REQUIRES
CONDITION FOR CAR
Braking Equipment Che of Most
Overlooked Parts, Yet Vital
FactoE
LOOSE BANDS A PROBLEM
Methods of Determining and Cor
recting Are Explained.

In short time the touring season
will open and many car owners will
take long trips over roads which are
strange to them and under conditions
with which they are not familiar. In
order that the maximum of pleasure
may be derived from a vacation trip
it is essential that the car should be
in the very best of condition. says
G. Clark Mather, chief engineer
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company.
Perhaps one of the most overlooked
parts of the motor car which detracts
from the best performance Is the
braking equipment 1t is a factor
which. unless adjusted carefully, un-
doubtedly causes poor performance.
Car owners and garages do not take
pains enough in adjusting brakes. All
drag must be eliminated.
Way to BE Certain.
Many owners and garage men think
that as long as the brake drums do
not feel warm to the hand after driv-
ing that the bands are not dragging.
This is not conclusive evidence that
brakes are free. The only way to be
certain that brake bands are not
dragging is to jack up both rear
turn one wheel in the forward direc-
ton. When this is done. due to diff
ferential action, the wheel on the
opposite side of the car should turn
in the reverse direction if the bands
are free. While this check is being
made the gearshift lever should be
in the neutral position. Any swish
ing" or rubbing noise at the brakes
while the wheel is being rotated Is
a suspicious circumstance that should
Evening star., 1924-05-11

be eliminated IL you wish to be free
from brake drag.
1t is almost unbelievable to ono
that has not had the experience what
will do to the performance Of an
automobile, especially on a grade.
It Is recommended that the external
brakes be first freed up at all adjust
ments so that there is absolutely no
contact between the band and drum
at any point Then. when the wheels
are rotated it can readily be observed
whether or not tho internal brakes
are dragging. II the internal brakes
are perfectly free then the external
brakes should be adjusted. This
should be accomplished by first set
ting the adjustment at the brake sup
port as close to the drum as possible
so that when the wheel is rotated no
contact Is made between the brake
drum and the brake band. Wheels
should be freely rotated several times
while making the adjustment. Most
brake drums are more or less out of
round and contact should not be made
the released position.
After the brake support adjustment
has been made, the bottom half of
the band should be adjusted in the
| same way and then the top half of
the band.
If the brake Innings are worn and
require replacement, this should be
done before leaving on a trip. 1t is
aggravating to have to fool with
worn-ou brake bands during ones
vacation period. There are several
excellent kinds OF brake bands, but
really only one make which Is suit
able for the al1-around conditions a
tourist will meet with. The recon-
mendation OF the motor cars builder
should be followed.

help only from those motorists who
are displaying auto club emblems,
stree there will be a more natural
bond of friendship between rescued
and rescuer.
1T has always been the aim of
auto club members to live up to their
ideals of highway fraternity, and
these suggestions must not be con-
strued as advocating the waving of
such fraternal spirit when the club
emblem is not found on the stranded
motorists car. The emblem is ones
best indication of the conscientious
car owner, but there are other leads
as well. motorist who is really
stranded will show signs of having
gone to some length to start the car
again before asking for help. His
coat will be off, his sleeves rolled and
hands dirty. There will be tools
along the running board.
Don't stop for the man who looks
as though he was all set to hop into
his car after having relieved you of
your watch and pocketbook. Don't
stop for the man who looks as though
he might prefer your car to his"

In a bulletin just issued from ma
tional headquarters of the American
Automobile Association organized
portant reason for displaying their
automobile club emblem.
your automobile club emblem is
proof TO those who pass you on the
road that you are not holf-up man
when you are stranded and begging
for assistance" the bulletin says.
This use of the emblem, it is point
ed out, is being emphasized as re-
suit of numerous requests coming to
headquarters for solution to the
problem of being mistaken for some
one bent upon mischief when en-
deavorinS to attract the attention of
passing motorists.
Trouble Both Ways.
According to the A. A. A. investi-
been troubled both ways Letters
reaching headquarters are divided
between those who complain that
the Good Sam aritan of the highway
has passed and those who tell of sad
experiences in being too sympathetic
with persons in trouble" for spe-
cial purpose
How is an automobile owner to
know when a request for help is
Renuine? one motorist writes.
"1f l am caught on the road and
need assistance, how can l convince
passing motorists that I want help
and not their pocketbooks? inquiries
another.
The a. A A. report gives the fol-
lowing valuable suggestions:
The spirit of chivalry has not
passed, and there is no good reason
why motorists should not feel COM
Portable in stopping to aid their COM
rades of the road. It's just ques-
Gon of looking for Identification
marks and, particularly, of knowing
where to look for them.
THE Surest way of distinguishing &
conscientious car owner is by not
ing his auto club emblem. -
Look for Insignia.
The people who own automobiles
for the mischief they can do with
them do not belong to automobile
clubs. They wouldn't be admitted If
they wanted to. When you see a
motorist waving for you to stop look
for his insignia of motor citizenship.
This will be readily seen if you are
approaching from the opposite -direc-
tion, and if you happen to be goin e
his way it will only be necessary to
drive a short distance past him in
in order to have glimpse of his
radiator, where the emblem is invari-
ably displayed. T.

PARKING POINTER.

Altruism is coming to be viewed as
a handy accessory to convenient mo-
tortng. There are some drivers of
large cars who are decent enough
not to try to park in a space which
small car could use to better ad-
vantage, and there are a few drivers
OF short wheelbase machines who do
not plank themselves in the few
larger spaces to which the longer
cars are entitled. There would be a
lot less trouble in parking IL every
driver would select space in accord
ance with his needs.
