Stopping Is Secondary.

Experience with four-whecl brakes
has reached a point where 1t IS clear
that many manufacturers and adNo-
Gates of these brakes made a serious
mistake in stressing stopping ability.
Too many persons got the impression
that four-wheel brakes We're designed
to enable drivers TO take greater
chances. But now that they know
better 1t has become evident that
stopping Is a secondary matter. One
typical driver lists the following adj
vantageS:
Safety against skidding.
Reduced tire wear.
Surer braking in descending hills
when normal car balance is disturbed.
Less physical effort in applying the
brakes.
More than two-wheel efficiency even
when the four-wheel brakes are not
in perfect adjustment.
