Stopping When We Want To by Harold W’, Slauson HEN a stubborn mule decides that he won't move he enforces this decision with all four feet planted firmly on the ground. If his hind legs only served te hold him, he might be “towed” out of his stationary position, but with his front legs brace against any movement he is anchored as solidly as a rock. About 150,000 cars to be produced this year will be provided with means to make them as stubborn as the mule when the owner desires to bring them to a stop or keep them safely fixed in one position. We have frequently pointed out that the stopping ability of a car is more important than quick get away or other features of moving ability. | The mulishness of the 150,000 cars | already referred to is to be made possible by the application of brakes to the front wheels as well as to the rear wheels. In fact, it looks as though four-wheel brakes | had come to stay, for they will be adopted \by at least half a dozen makers of 1924 cars, and the production of at least one of these manufacturers will exceed 100,000. [Te stoppine ability of a car is based primarily upon only two factors, the gripping factor between tire and road and the amount of surface of the tire on the road which will be effected by the retard- ing ability of the brakes. Of course, in order to obtain the gripping ability dodges the “grim reaper.” 26 between tire and road force must he properly and scientifically applied in such a manner that it will have a tendency to prevent the wheels from turning This is a matter of the selection of the proper brake lining, correctly applied and adjusted. A tire which slides easily will not offer as effective a braking surface as will one provided with projections or depressions which furnish a more positive grip to t road and thus prevent skidding. this reason, tires with an absolutely smooth tread have practically gone out of use and to-day we find the regular equipment as furnished by car manu facturers to consist of four tires of the non-skid variety. Arete brakes to the front whe as well as to the rear wheels of a car, cally doubles the amount of effec- tire area in contact with the road which can be employed to help bring the to a stop. Thus, ears applied and properly adjusted with four-wheel brakes can theoretically be brought to a stop in half the distance at a given speed than is the case if those brakes were applied only at the rear wheels. Even the layman will readily appreci- ate the fact that considerable engineering resourcefulness must ha to bear to produce easily adjusted brakes which would operate on the front wheels even when these are turned to one sidc or the other out of the straight path of travel. A peculiar condition effecting the use of four-wheel brakes, however lies in the dangerous results which will follow an improper adjustment of the brakes to permit the front wheels to slid or lock while the rear wheels are: still revolving. If the front wheels are locked, the car will go into what is known as a front wheel skid, in which the driver has absolutely no control of the direction of the car, and which, therefore, is much more serious than — the slight slue of a rear end skid. With these conditions in view, many manufac turers have designed front wheel brakes so that they will operate with only about 60 per cent. of the force or gripping ability of the rear wheel brakes This, therefore, insures that if any skid is to occur it will be caused by the less dangerous rear wheel lock rather than by the locking of the front wheels.
