TESTS SHOW MANY

Inspection of Experts Re-
veaIs Small Percentage of
, Cars Tried Satisfactory.

Greater care should be taken by
Washington motorists in seeing to 1t
that their brakes are in good condi-
ton, judged by the results OF tests
conducted by the Bureau OF Stand
ards yesterday on the Monument
grounds. The tests will be concldued
this afternoon, with free brake in
Spection from 1 to 6 O'Clock.
Motorists wishing to take advan-
tage of the free brake tests. will enter
the Monument grounds by the Eff
teenth street entrance and park on
the roadway on the north side of
the Monument. between Fifteenth
and Sixteenth streets.
Yesterdays tests. according to
tabulations made public by the bu-
feau today, show that service brak eS
on 20 per cent of the 80 cars tested
were poor and could not stop the
car in SO feet or less. They num-
bereh is. while % cars. or 80 per
cent of the cars tested, stopped
while going at a speed of 20 miles an
thereby falling into the fair" cIas-
siflcation. Brakes on 28 cars were
declared to be good. since they
stopped the cars in between 80 and 40
cars showed service brakes in excel
lent condition, stopping the car in
80 feet or less.
The general average stop of all the
service brakes tested yesterday was
403 feet, while the emergency brakes,
which are supposed to take a firm
grip on the wheel and stop the car
when the service brake fails to stop
1t, showed an average of 50 feet.
Emergency brakes on the cars tested
as whole, showed them to be in
poor condition.
Four wheel brakes, without dis
tinction as to the hydraulic or me-
chanically operated types. proved
emselves vastly more efficient than
the tWo-wheel brakes. The general
average stop of four-wheel-brake
cars tE the tests yesterday was 20.3
feet. against 40.3 feet for two-wheel-
brake cars.
More than so per cent of the emer-
Eency brakes of the cars tested were
marked poor, while but 2O.5 were
good and only 1.3 excellent. The
tests are being conducted by mechan-
ical engineers of the bureau, headed
by H. H. Allen. and the accuracy OF
the observations is checked by an iE-
genius machine called the decelerom-
