THE HERALD The A-B-C Paper with the WHAT T0 D0 WHEN YOUR CAR SKIDS Timely Advice to Motorists Using Slippery Roads Why an automobile skids is of in- terest to a motorist, but what to do to grevent skidding and what to do »¥P the car ib skidding are equally sortant toples. The main cause of skidding of rear wheels of ‘motor cars is due to the action of the brakes operating through the rear wheels. Skidding, ot course, normally occurs only ‘when the roads are slippery, An automobile wheel rotates and progresses over the highway in but one direction or plane. This direc- tion for the rear wheels is determined by the front wheels under control of the driver, While the rear wheels grip the ground and rotate they con- trol the direction of the car. How- ever, as roon as the rear wheels are locked by the brakes they begin to slide and as they slide sidewise prac- tically ps easily as forward, they lose the power to direct the car, It takes comparatively little brake friction to lock and slide rear wheels on slippery roads ‘because there is little friction between the tire and the road surface. When once the driving wheels begin to slip the car is kept in motion by the force of in- ertia acting at the car's center of gravity or mass. This forward mo- {tion is opposed by the resistance of all four wheels on the ground, & re- sistance that is greater in the rotat- ing front wheels than in the sliding rear wheels. Unless the combined ground resistance of all wheels, tend- ing to stop the car, acts on the same point as the force of inertia tending to carry the car forward, there re- sults what is called a “force couple” which causes the car to skid or spin around. After the wheels once start to slip a very small “force couple” will pro- duce skidding, and the skid distance is dependent upon the magnitude of the ‘‘force couple” which in turn de- pends on car speed and weight, Turning the front wheels in the direc- tion of the rear wheels skid, helps to reduce skidding because it reduces the magnitude of the “force couple”. Also periodically releasing and re- applying the brakes so the wheels can get a grip offsets forward slip and consequent side skid. Two means are employed to pre- | vent skidding in-motor vehicles. The use of non-skid or rough tread tires and of anti-skid chains. Non-skid tires are designed to give forward traction and to prevent side slip. As long as there is traction the rear wheels will turn, and as long a&s the rear wheels turn there will be no serious side slip, unless the front wheels are blocked: Non-skid tires furnish reliability and safety in driving-reliability, in permitting the vehicle to operate successfully over almost any kind of road and during all seasons of the year, and safety by permitting the vehicle to hold the road at all gpeeds; and allowing the brakes to most effective. Non-skid treads on tires were first used on rear wheels and are now con- sidered absolutely essential for such uses. Later non-skid tires were placed on front wheels because the treads prevented front wheel skidding as well as permitted the, rotation or exchange of the front and rear tires. A well designed’ mnon-skid tcead should give on rear wheels sufficient forward traction to permit the car to operate without chains under most road conditions and at the same time insure against side slip. It must per- mit quick and ‘'smooth response to clutch accelerator and brakes. It must not greatly impair ease of steer- ing when used on front wheels, It must not set up vibration in the car noises. It should present an attrac- tive appearance. Non-skid chains accomplish the same = purpose as the non-skid tire tread, that is, give additional traction and reduce side slip. Non-skid chains should supplement - non-skid tires only when road conditions absolutely require them. Because they make - available in road friction the total weight of the car instead of only half the can weight, four wheel brakes are coming into use, especially in Continental Europe. Not only can cars be stop- ped more quickly but they can be driven safely on wet days and in ice and snow without chains. In stop- ping a car equipped with four wheel brakes all four wheels may slide and the car as a whole slip forward. How- ever, there appears to be little or no side skidding. This is especially true it the brakes are connected diagonal- ly in pairs that is left hand front wheel and right hand rear wheel. With this arrangement opposite wheels are able to roll freely retain- ing their directing qualities. Mr. M. Arneth, of the N. B. Bird and Feed Co., has returned from a short visit to Springfield where he at- tended a School of Livestock Ieed- ing conducted by the Purina Mills. Among the subjects discussed were, “Lowering the Cost of Milk Produc- |tion,” *“The Secret of Horse Power,” "Fgg Production” and “Lowering the Pig Mortality.” Charts of the diges- tive systems of different animals were shown, and chemical analysis of dif- ferent feeds explained. Culling the flock or herd was a keynote of the school, and much time was given to | record keeping on the farm. Execu- tives from the St. Louis offices of the Purina company say that proper feed- ing will lower costs of production of milk, eggs, pork or horse power by 20 to 40 per cent. Mr. Arneth plans to have a Purina field man visit him soon, to help producers in this sec- May TUES. MON.
