DELU

Simple Method Is Given for
Preventing Waste and
Harm to Machine
By G. C. Mather, Chief Engineer
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Co. ,
After you have had your brakes
adjusted or relined is the time for
another brake test; the danger is
that in correcting one fault you
have created, and your brakes
may be dragging.
Fortunately, brakes don't go
bad all at once, and as they be
come less and less effective the
driver just naturally applies them
earlter and more energetically;
however, in emergency, he cannot
stop so quickly as he should, so
that he is risking accident as long
as the brakes are not at their
maximum stopping efficiency.
The opposite fault with brakj-
es, on the other hand, may exis.t
without the driver's realizing it.
though if he did he would be just
s eager to correct it as to repair
brakes that fail to stop the car
fficiently. This second fault 5s
ragging brakes brakes that are
too tight, and therefore exert a
constant drag on the engine, with
corresponding increase In fitel
consumption. On an up-gracle
climb, the least drag seriously af
fects the performance of the car.
The fact that dragging brak.es
are costing the driver money for
wasted gasoline is enough to malke
most owners correct this fauJt.
The trouble is that few of them
realize when this condition existts.
Fortunately, however, anyone
may quickly determine whether he
is laboring tinder this unnecessary
load on his motor and his puTse.
Here-is a test that anyone can
make for himself:
On a well-paved level highway,
attain a speed of 30 miles an
hour, then fhift Into neutral and
coast." Begin timing your deceler
ation when the speedpmeter shows
2." miles an hour; at the end ot
60 seconds, your car should still
be rolling five miles ah hour or
faster. If it Isn't, look for drag
ging brakes.
A more certain test can he
made, and is well, worth while.
Jack up hoth rear wheels, and
with the shift lever in neutral,
turn each wheel forward by hand,
first one and then the other. Tf
the brakes are free, the opposite
wheels should turn backward,
easily and evenly. Any "swish
ing" sound or resistance Indicates
that the brake drums are making
contact with the bands.
If the bands are too tight, read
just them. In many cases, how
ever the dragging i3 due to out-of-round
bands, which must then
be trned up at a service station.
Whatever the cause, correct the
fault at once. Save your brakes;
don't wear them out at the ex
pense of gasoline economy and
performance ability. Remember
that a free running car, with
quick accelerating powers, may
often avoid a mishap that could
not be prevented by perfect stop
ping ability.
XE MODELS ARE
HE POPULAR
Olds Company Finds That
Fully Equipped Cars Move
Better Than Others
Proof ol the truth of the state
ment that the luxuries of yester
day are the necessities of today is
shown by an analysis of Oldsmo
bile's sales figures for the first
10 months of 192 5. During that
period the deluxe models, fully
equipped with all accessories, far.
outsold the standard models.
The most popular model was the
deluxe coach, with the deluxe se
dan, the highest priced car in the
Oldsmobile line running second,
slightly outselling the standard
coach, the lowest priced closed
car. The sale of standard and
snort touring cars are about
equal, due to the large export de
mand for the standard open cars.
Oldsmobile was one of the first
companies to recognize the trend
toward fully equipped cars, and
more than a year ago it standard
ized on all accessories. They were
selected and designed to conform
to Oldsmobile's requirements.
