MIRON BRAKE NENA. PERFECT Cofnplications: Elimin- ated in Making Im- provements. ‘The Marmon Motor Car company believes that in its front wheel brake mechanism, it has attained the peak in four wheel brake mechanism, and offers the following features of the new Marmon front wheel brakes as evidence. 1. Simple internal mechanism: A remarkable degree of simplicity has been attained in Marmon front wheel brake construction. They necessitate few parts and few com plications. This means greater de pendability, lighter weight end longer wearing qualities. 2. Quiet, simple controls: Per- haps the most ingenious single fea- ture of Marmon brakes Hes in the simplicity, of the control linkage. With the croes shaft lying within Abe channel of the front axle and ‘with all working ports of the brakes enclosed within dust proof drums, the clean cut appearance of the de wign speaks for itself in assurance of dependability and safety. 3. All working parts enclosed Automobiic brakes are, by their na- ture, placed in a position of mexi mum exposure to dirt, water and mud. Working parts must be pro tected if long wearing qualities and efficient operation are expected. The mechanism of the Marmon brake, proper, js completely housed within the drum 4, Simple and permanent adjust- ments: The right and left brakes are equalized by adjusting the length of the vertical links which extend from the cross shaft. The adjustment for tightening the front brukes with relation to the rear ones is anade at the forward end of the rod which extends from the brake pedal. Nothing could be simpler or more effective. 6. Light foot pressure: Unless some preventive means is provided. the use of four wheel brakes wil necessitate excessive foot pressure by the driver, or in Neu of. that, excessively long travel of the foot pedal. The Marmon design has utilized a principle which causes the momentum of the car itself to assis: the driver in pressing the brake bands t the drums. The Steering ‘not encumbered © which controls the brak extremely simple, and does not any way hainper the movement tholtstdiring system. Moreo design.is such that the motions links the. whee’s and steering knucki usgembly does not niffect the brak control: % ‘Safety paramount: To furt! prémpte safety an ads bre 1 to proportion the pré offth front b kes to that of rear Brakes causing the rear whee to, ldek before the front wher THis,\0f course, becomes importan only fin extreme application of the brakés and is an example of the thoroughness with which the Mar rake has been developed to preveft dangerous skidding unde gs conditions. 8. Front axle strengthened: As previously mentioned, the front axle, Bteering knuckles and all re- lated parts have been greatly strengthened to resist the greater stres¢es imposed by the action of poweFful brakes. 9. Unsprung weight maintained at minimum: In adding the brake mechanism to the front axle, the @esign’ of each part has been care- fully studied to obtain the greatest possible strength from every ounce of métal used. The result is not only @ construction with ample fac tors of safety against breakage, but @ comparatively light weight assem- bly, that insures the continuation of Marmon roadability, tire economy and riding qualities. MANY ELEMENTS G0 INTO THE MAKING OF AN AUTOMOBILE TIRE ‘The number of (ifferent elements, Pigments, which are mixed with Tubber/ before it is incorporated in to autpmobile tries, probably would astound the average motorist. There notus is no pure rubber in any portion of the casing, although that Part known as cushion stock proackes that condition as near! possible. It 1s necessary to mix som other substances with it in order to make} it vulcanize. The cushion took) that part just beneath the tread And in which the breaker strip is imbedded, is known among tir manufacturers ap pure gum stoc! But all the rubber used in other parts of the tire are mixed with or more pigments very thorough: on mixing machines. The proper compounding of rubber for use in tires brings about countless hours of experimentation. In the case cf Miller tires for example, several chemists and expert compounders devote practically their entire time toward the perfection of compound- ing methods which are designed to give greater and more satisfactory ervice to tire users. In the compounding departments, experts weigh every bit of pigment which is to go into certain batches of rubber, and weigh them so care- fully that there is not a variation of even a fraction of an ounce be tween any two batches to be used for_the. same purpose.
