We use the transmission brake on the Franklin car because of its many pronounced advantages over any other system. It has, we believe, more elements of safety than any other brake known, without any element of danger. The Franklin transmission brake is located on the drive-shaft. The braking action being passed through the differential equalizes the braking effect of each rear wheel regardless of road or brake conditions, resulting in an almost entire absence of skidding tendency. Consequently, this brake is the safest to apply with maximum force at any speed—on any road or on a curve. It is impossible to get unequal braking force—mud, oil or water having no effect. The braking action also passing through the rear axle gears gives a braking power unobtain- able in any other way. The rear axle gears and various leverages mul- tiply the pedal pressure 39 times in applied braking power. That makes it possible to stop the Franklin easily and quickly. The pressure of two fingers on the brake-pedal will hold the car on a steep hill. And if you apply the brake hard enough to lock the wheels, it doesn’t interfere with steering. Care and costs are also in its favor. The transmission brake has only one adjust- ment, a simple thumb-nut to: take up wear. No tools required. No worry about “equalizers.”’ 25-cent bottles, also larger size, contain directions and uses. Replacement of the brake-band is easy—a 50- minute job costing in the neighborhood of $4.00. No wheels to pull. There is only one place to lubricate. Locating the drum on the drive-shaft lengthens brake life. It cools quicker—dirt and water can- not reach it to cause rapid wear. Every ounce of the extremely light weight of the brake is above the springs. That means greater protection than wheel brakes receive—road shocks can reach it only through the springs. And the transmission brake has less tendency to drag, due to much greater motion of the band for a given movement of the pedal. There is nothing experimental about it—i been used on the Franklin for over 20 years. It has six vital superiorities—safety, effective- ness, simplicity, economy, long life and easy maintenance. The Franklin has the simplest, safest, easiest- operating brake known. It has the simplest, surest cooling system. The air-cooled motor (no water) has over a hundred fewer parts, and cannot over~ heat nor freeze under any conditions. The vibration-absorber, an exclusive, newly- patented device, nullifies the periodic engine vibration that has always been thought unavoid- able. New equipment. The Franklin is the simplest, the easiest-riding, and the fastest car over a day’s run, of all cars. It uses the best of everything all the way through. It is the safest for you and your family to drive. Ask anyone who drives a Franklin. Or better yet, come and get a generous sample of perform- ance—a 50 to 500 mile ride. has FRANKLIN MOTOR CO.
