NEED EXCEEDS.
PRODUCTION
Of CARS
Washington Automotive -Asso.
citation Says Factories are
Taxed to the Limit.

More automobiles are needed in
America than can possibly be pro-
duced by the factories within the
next two years. This statement Is
made in bulletin just issued by the
Washington Automotive Trade AS.
ISOLATION.
In an investigation of the subject
by the local dealers organization it
appears that on every hand one
finds the public in need of cars which
the factories are in no position to
meet this year and which q large
number of people are not as yet in
a strong enough financial position
to buy.
There has been no attempt to
differentiate between cars that are
demanded and those that are need
ed" says the Wata bulletin yet
the distinction is very important.
There may be need for cars with
out a demand, or vice versa. Or
both may apply equally.
Obvious Car Demand.
There is at present a very en-.
Vious demand for cars, but if four
or five million car units are sold
this year it will be no indication
that the demand equalled the need.
1t is known that the need for cars
is far greater than the production
facilities of the factories.
Millions of people in, the coun-
try have daily need of the automo-
bile, but are as yet unable to de.
mand 1t. Some are minors, some
are financially limited. There are
many instances where the purchase
of car awaits some change in age,
family or business conditions. Con-
stantly this enormous need for cars
is developing into demand with the
factories just about able to meet
the latter.
1.-The factories are necessarily
limited by reason of the fact that
they are constantly meeting the
demand for requirements which le-
comes a greater factor every year.
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that once a motorist mas
reached point where he can de-
mand a car he, keeps right in de-
manding. This\ would seem to
prove that the automobile is an aid
to getting on, for if it We're lux
ury the average person would he
forced to give up demanding a new
car as soon as he had consumed
the car he had struggled to own.
Need For Cars Grows.
"If the demand for new cars
should fall below expectations this
year representing a surplus of pro,
duction it would only indicate that
million or so of the people who
need automobiles had not as yet
reached the point where they. could
demand them.
: 1.-THE most important factor is the
need for cars, for without that
there could be no natural demand
So, long as the need for cars exists,
and continues to grow. the demand

BRAKE
INNOVATION,
CLAIMED
Harper Motor Co. Manager
Explains Working Of
Durant Type

"a distinct innovation In the
four-wheel brake field has been
made by the new type four.wheel
brakes with which the Durant is
now equipped" states George
Davis, sales manager Harper Motor
Company.
"The Durant engineers, after a.
thorough and very careful analysis,
have perfected a four.wheel brake
which Incorporates the fine features
Of the hydraulic and mechanical
brakes.
"This type Of independent brak
ing installation for front wheel
brakes co-ordinates perfectly with
the present standard Durant rear
wheel brakes, and affords the ut.
most practical efficiency for this
type of car.
1.-THE actual design and construc-
ton Of this Durant front wheel
brake mechanism follows the most
approved engineering practice, with
improvement in simplification and
accessibility for the convenience of
the owner.
Action Explained.
THE actual braking action at
the point Of contact on the wheel
is applied by internal expanding
toggle brake bands, and a single
nut between the ends of the bands
provides for wear here.
From cross shaft on the front
axle the braking force is applied
through a pin inside the king pin
to aNlever which actuates the brake
bands. . This means that the line
of applied pressure is directly
through the center Of the turning
radius Of each front wheel, and this
eliminates all resistance to steer
ing-which is in itself a splendid
Improvement.
Another remarkable refinement
found in the Durant front wheel
brakes is the method Of equalizing
the pressure to each front wheel
brake. The pull rods are attached
] to the pedal cross shaft, each
through a piston. Each piston Is
connected to the other by a tube.
The pistons are equipped with Ale.
mite nibS through which they may
be filled with light grease from an
ordinary gun. Grease forced into
either piston passes through the
other through the connecting tube,
e~AAN eAHJ uHSQudI pressure
from either brake pull rod will force
grease into the other piston until
the pressure is eQualized. This
equalization through pistons is
simple, automatic, and positive.
The pistons seldom need replenish.
ment, and when necessary it is as
easy an operation to lubricate as
any other Alemite point.
Hydraulic Control.
"As may be readily seen this
equalizatN,n of the applied pres.
sure is automatically controlled.
however, the sturdily constructed
pistons expanding toggle brake parts
eliminates the necessity of sealed
| joints, and pistons being housed
within the brake flange in the
axle, all of which lessons the posi-.
bility Of the breakage of joints due
to the vibration of these delicate
parts.
THE front wheel braking action
is set to follow the rear wheel
brakes in point of time and force,
consequently the front wheel brakes
assist rather than equal the func.
ton of the rear wheel brakes. The
front wheels, therefore, may still
have some rolling motion even after
the rear wheels have stopped, and
the possibility Of skidding, due to
braking action, is overcome.
