When the electric power of a Chicago manufacturing concern fails there
,111 be no let up In the work as a result of a twelve-day experiment recently
completed. George Davis, president of the company, gel his automobile up
on a platform, substituted pulleys on the rear axle shafts for the wheels aud
connected these pulleys to the factory power shaft. But the belts slipped
and the auto wheels and tires were replaced. The car then ran a 220-volt
generator 24 hours a day for 12 days, supplying the factory with current tot
light and power without any curtailment ln the plant's output.

Task Is Avoided.
In using a car with planetary trans
mission, It was found wearisome to
keep the low-speed pedal down by foot
pressure when driving uphill or trav
eling through sand or mud. The pedal
was therefore equipped with a piece
r ot \-_t_. sheet steel, with ears or
flanges on both sides, by means of
which It was. pivoted on a small pin
fitted through a hole drilled in the
pedal just below the pad. A long piece

CARE OF BRAKES
PREVENTS WEAR
Equalization and Proper Atten
tion of Car's Machinery Are
Explained.
NEGLECT OF CONTROL RODS
Clevises and Other Parts Are Not
Provided With Any Means of Lv-
I brication—Become Quite Noisy
| and Rattlesome.
The automobile owner Is hardly to
be blamed because he neglects the
brake and control linkage on his car.
It Is all beneath the chassis, and It Is
certainly not arranged In such a way
he can give it any marked attention.
The clevises, and other parts of the
points of the control rods are not pro
vided with any means of lubrication,
so that there seems to be little or noth
ing that the owner can do to take
care of this part of the car.
Yet It is the brake and' control
rods which eventually become the
most noisy and rattlesome parts of
the car. The little yoke connec
tions with which the little ends of
the rods are held together, become
full of grit and are naturally bound
to wear.
The connections through which the
; brakes are operated are simple and
easy to follow. The pedal or lever
I Is pivoted and connected with a set
| of rods and linkage arranged In such
| a way as to transmit the motion of
; the foot or hand in reduced and
' hence more powerful leverage to the
brake mechanism.
Brake Adjustment.
In adjusting brakes some precau
tions must be kept In mind. In the
case of the foot-brake, which Is gen
erally the external or contracting
type, the bands bear on the exterior
of the drums ln securing the braking
effect. There is generally an adjust
ment on the exterior part of the
brake Itself where the adjustment can
be made without any danger of
changing the throw of the linkage.
This Is very important, because if
the throw or centers of the links are
changed in their relationship they
will be affected by the motion of the
springs.
Perhaps you have noticed ln some
cars that if yon watch the brake
pedal, lt will move in or out as the
car springs are deflected. The rea
son for this ls that the rod which
connects the brake linkage with the
brake operating units, or, in other
words, the last link In the chain of
rods is centered so that the upward
and downward motion of the chas
sis centers about such a point in re
lation to the pivot point of the rod
that it becomes relatively longer or
shorter and consequently moves the
brake mechanism.
There are a great many manufac
turers who are not putting equalizers
on their cars and in these makes it ls
very essential to see that the brakes
are adjusted uniformly.
How to Test Brakes.
An easy way to test the brakes Is
to drive at about ten miles an hour
while some one Is watching the car.
Apply the brake slightly and allow
the observer to note lf one wheel was
locked before the other. If so, tight
en the adjustment on the last wheel to
lock and try it again. The test can
be made on any kind of a road where
the surface beneath each wheel is the
same. A flat piece of asphalt makes
a very good place to hold such a test
