BRAKE CONTROL
LAWS NEEDED
Official Tests Show Lack of
Efficiency in Cars
SOME SYSTEMS G00D
Emergency Is Less e.
feCtive han General
BY IsRAEL KLEIN

NEED Of local ordinances govern.
~ ing tho control and efficiency OF
brakes on automobiles was brought
home recently in tests conducted nj
Washington by representatives OF
the Society OF Automotive Engineers
and the bureau OF standards.
Tho tests revealed the following
glaring defects on average automo.
bllea:
!. Cars with four.wheel brakes
varied considerably In the effec-
iivcness Of their brakes.
?. Cars with two-whecl brakes
also varied considerably In brak-
ing efficiency and stopped nj
greater distances than the four
brake cars.
3. The so-cnlled emergency"
brake was less effective than the
service brake in stopping the car.
These and other tests conducted
by engineers Independently point TO
tho efficacy OF four.wheel brakes.
especially In emergencies. But they
also reveal the fact that this limo.
walton needs considerable adjustment
and Improvement before II can be re.
ferred to MS n finished product,
USE ODD INSTRUMENTS
IN MAKING TESTS
In making these tests the engineers
used n decelerometer developed by
bureau OF standards men. This In.
strument recorded more accurately
than any previous system the dis.
lance required for n car to stop from
n given speed. The popular system
heretofore. which is still In use by
police officials in various cities. was
to have n motorist reach n designated
line across the road at a given speed
and apply the brakes as he crossed
the line. The distance OF his stop.
ping point from the line marked the
efficiency OF his brakes. as related
to the standard set by the local au.
thoritIes. Even this standard may
vary according TO the Judgment OF
the various officials.
II was n OF the purposes OF the
bureau Of standards test to determine
a standard OF bralting efficiency for
various kinds OF automobiles. 40 that
police may not have TO rely on n
more or less arbitrary decision. Use
OF the decelerometer md adoption of
n u. s. standard might result in bet.
ter and moro scientific inspection OF
brakes by police.
STOP IN 81 FEET
AT 20 MILES!
According TO the bureau of stan.
dards test, the average stopping dis.
lance for n four,bralSe car going 90
miles an hour was 21,1 feet on n dry
pavement and eos feet on n wet
road. Yet the stopping distances for
such ears tested varied from 10 to
GO feet on a dry road, and from IA
to 40 feet on a wet road.
Two.wheel brake cars stopped at
an average OF 80 feet on dry road.
and 5S.3 feet on wet pavement. The
stopping distances for these also
varied considerably, showing that
two.wheel brakes need as much

A RECORD

The week ending April 5th, 1924
showed the largest volume of sales
in Dodge Brothers history.
Actual retail deliveries of cars to
users for this week totaled 1894.
This does not include export or
overseas sales.
Since Dodge Brothers new type cars
have been produced in quantities,
deliveries to users each week have
shown a consistent gain over the
corresponding week of any previous
year. Deliveries in the first three
months of 1924 exceeded the same
period of 1923 by 21%.
