Brakes Pressed as Key Safety Factor in Autos
Authorities stress brakes as the major safety element in automobiles and urge meticulous maintenance and proper adjustment to ensure peak performance.
Brakes Adjusted at Factory by Dynamic Tester at Olds
T. H. Stambaugh explains that initial brake adjustment at the Olds factory is crucial for even wear and fewer future adjustments. Each Olds car uses a dynamic brake tester to measure braking effort at every wheel, guiding mechanics to perfect distribution and equalization between front and rear brakes. Four electric motor driven dynamometers are embedded in the floor, each with a motor, gears, driving roll, and weighing mechanism.
