Has Inherent Advantages of
Hydraulic Plus Benefits
of Chevrolet Company's
Own Type Of Linkage
Chevrolet. Introduces an entirely
new braking Bytim in lis 1936 cars,
utilizing the hydraulic principle of
actuation In combination with Its
own design of brake mechanism with
in the brake drums at all four wheel.
The system, Bays the company's an
nouncement, possesses all the Inher
ent advantages of hydraulic brake ac
tion plus the special benefits that
Chevrolet has built Into Its own type
of ' articulated brake shoes and link
'age by which pedal pressure Is con
verted Into braking effect.
Except for the means of actuating
the brake shoes, the new Chevrolet
brake system Is the same as last year,
though Improved In mechanical de
tails and Increased In braking ca
pacity. Easily Adjusted
Ease of brake adjustment to com
pensate for wear Is one of the fea
tures of Chevrolet's exclusive braise
design. There is only one adjusting
point for each brake shoe, reached
through an opening In the brake
flange or the brake drum. With a
screw driver used as a lever, a notch
ed adjusting wheel Is turned until
the shoe slightly drags on the drum,
then the adjusting wheel Is backed
off four notches, completing the op
eration. Not even a feeler gauge to
measure clearance Is required.
In its design of the hydraulic sys
tem, Chevrolet has made full use of
Its inherent advantages, which In
clude self -equalization of pressure on
the brake shoes, freedom from frlc
tlonal losses between pedal and shoes,
proof against trouble caused by dirt
or Ice, and ease of maintenance
Achieve Sure Stopping
By making the pistons in the wheel
cylinders larger than the master
piston operated by the pedal, thus
multiplying the effect of foot pres
sure, the Chevrolet design achieves
sure stopping with light pedal pres
sure. Further advantage Is taken of
the hydraulic principle In that the
front wheel cylinders are made larger
than those of the rear wheels. As a
result, for any given pedal pressure,
the front wheel brakes exert a strong
er braking effect than the rear a de
sirable effect because, when brakes
are applied, the weight of the ea
shifts to Increase the load on the
front wheels, while the weight on the
rear wheels Is reduced. Chevrolat's
distribution of braking effort compen
sates for this shifting of weight, and
by dividing the total braking effort
between front and rear wheels in pro
portion to their load and traction,
provides against the locking of only
one pair of wheels.
The Chevrolet design of articulated
brake shoe and links prevents the
uneven wearing of brake linings by
Insuring full contact of the entire
lining with the drum, distributing
the pressure and the wear over the
entire area of the linings.
The Chevrolet brake system differs
from others also In that the hand
brake lever actuates both brake shoes
In each rear wheel drum. The hand
lever and the actuating levers Inside
the drums provide for greater travel
of the shoes than does the service
brake pedal.

Willy's "77" Shown by Abbey
Each year the Willy, 77 Is put through gruelling tents to show Its speed
ana economy, according to Walter W. Abbey, local dealer. A stock sedan,
he states, was recently driven for S4 hours, non stop, except for gas and oil,
for distance of 1709 miles, an average of 71.07 miles per hour. On a 24
hour run on the San Diego speedway the same stork sedan, averaging -i.v.)t
miles per hour, made 36.03 miles per gallon., according to Mr. Abbey, rbc
193d models are on display at the Walter W. Abbey, Inc., showroom.

ASHLAND, Feb. (Spl.) The re
placement of 6.600 feet of the Oak
street water main, If the project is
approved by the worka progress ad
ministration, waa authorized by the
city council at a regular meeting held
Tuesday night.
The total cost of the Job will
amount to approximately la.OOO with
half of the sum going for labor costs
which will be paid by the WPA if the
grant Is made.
Realization of the plan, according
to Earl Hosier, water superintendent,
will mean the replacement of deterior
ated steel pipe that haa been In the
ground since 1908 with new cast-Iron
material which la supposed to laat
several times as long.
The new pipe will be mostly of alx
inch else, providing nearly four tlmea
the volume of the present three-Inch
pipes, and proportionately increasing
the pressure. Hosier said It would
benefit water users in the lower Oak
street region by delivering a greater
amount of water and by creating a
nearly 35 per cent reduction In fire
Insurance rates.
Eight new fire hydrants are In
cluded In the plana to replace the
Inadequate "goosenecks" now In ex
