Timely Advice Upon
Adjustment of Brakes
(By G. Clark Mather)

(By G. Clark Mather)
Chief Engineer, Paige-Detroit Motor
Car Company
In a short time the touring sea son
viii 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 pleas
ure may be derived from a vacation
trip. 1t Is essential that the car
should be in the very best condition.
Perhaps one Of the most over
looked parts OF the motor car which
detracts from the best performance is
the braking equipment. II is a factor
"hich, unless adjusted carefully,
undoubtedly causes poor perform
ance.
Car owners and garages do not
take pains enough in adjusting
brakes. All drag must be eliminated.
Many owners and CARA gemen think
that as long az the brake drums do
not feel warm to the hand after driv
ing, That the bands arc not dragging.
This is not conclusive evidence that
brakes are free. The only way 10 be
certain that brake bands are not
dragging is TO jack up both rear
wheels from the ground and then
turn one wheel in the forward dlrec-
ton. When this is done, due to
olfferential 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 q
suspicious circumstance that should
ne eliminated IL you wish to be free
from brake drag.
1t is almost unbelievable to one
that has not had the experience,
what a very slight amount of brake
drag will do TO the performance Of
| an automobile, especially on a grade.
1t is recommended that the exter-
nal brakes be first freed up at all
adjustments so that there is abso-
lutely no contact between the band
and drum at any point Then when
the wheels are rotated it can readily
he observed whether or not the in
ternal brakes are dragging. If the
internal brakes are perfectly free
then the external brakes should be
adjusted. This should be accom-
plished by first setting the adjust
, ment at the brake support as close
when the wheel Is rotated no CON
| tact is made between the brake drum
and brake band. Wheels should he
freely rotated several times While
making the adjustment. Most brake
drums are more or less out OF
round and contact should not he
made at any point when the brakes
are in the released position.
After the brake support adjust
ment 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 out brake bands during one $
vacation period. There are several
excellent kinds of brake bands but
really only one make which is suit
able for the all-r0und conditions 4
tourist will meet with. The recon-
meudation of the motor cars build
Ell should be followed.

Coach an Auto Body
That Meets Demand

Recognized by the Society Of Au
tomobile Engineers, a new type OF
motor car, the coach, has come into
the industry to take its place along
with the touring car, the roadster,
tho limousine and the sedan.
The coach, now officially receG-
nized by authorities within the in
dustry, was introduced to the public
in 1921 by the Hudson Motor Car Co.
The first coach was on the Essex
chassis. 1t proved so successful that
very shortly afterwards a similar
body was mounted on the standard
chassis Of the Hudson Super-S Six.
81 have 4 definition for the coach
too" declares r.. s. Carpenter, Hud-
son Essex distributor. The coach
is an enclosed car which fits the
needs of the average family and
which gives closed car, comforts in
all seasons at open car costs. 1t is
this all-weather utility which has
made the coach so popular.
1T is easy to remember that when
the coach first came out it was the
subject of good deal of opposition
and even ridiCule among certain au-
tomobile dealers who did not under
stand its great possibilities. Some
of them predicted that it would he a
one-year car.
"Well-the coach has been the
motor car which definitely started
motorists on their present strong
preference for an enclosed car.
They had always wanted an en-
closed car, but the coach was the
first enclosed car which took into
consideration the fact that prices
must be moderate to obtain a vol
ume business. With Hudson Essex
today over so per cent. of the whole
output is in coaches, and this natur-
ally results in an exceptionally fay-
orable price"
