That with these, the friction on the front wheels can be adjusted to slightly less force than that on the rear wheels, to prevent locking of the steering wheels, That if one- fourth of the mechanism gets out of order, the remaining three-fourths can still be applied for braking which cannot be claimed for the hydraulic system Push or Pull?

Reo Motor Cars and Truck: who | wottle | A TRIPLE ALLIANCE FOR MOTORING SAFETY ALLOON Tires, oversized brakes, emeg:ncy foot control,—with these features Reo unqualifiedly puts maximum of possible ‘ safety into motor travel. For they represent air-cushioned car motion, ‘ prompt and skid-free brake action, unhindered steering and instant, ‘ positive response to every traffic exigency.

No need for furious driving on pavements to compensate for time lost on dirt highways. Balloon Tires give almost unbelievable certainty of driving con- trol. They obey the driver'’s touch ‘instantly when other tires hesitate. At normal speeds they can be steered out of ruts, through loose gravel, off pavements and back on, across car tracks nearly parallel with the wheels,—all without tendency to skid. Quick, positive, skid-free braking is assured by Balloon Tires and Reo’s greatly oversized rear-wheel brakes. The latter have always been able to hold the wheels.from turning. Balloon Tires offer to the road nearly three-fourths more surface than regular pneumatics. This contact area is the enabling the tires to slow up the car. The larger the area, the more quickly the car stops. By cushioning the entire chassis and body against road shock and even minor vibration, Balloon Tires cause measurable savings in general service expense, definitely increase the car life, and tend to favor greater gasoline milage. Reo engineers and testing experts have been actively interested in every step of Balloon Tire development, but critical withal. ‘All facts and facilities Reo acquired in engineering and pneumatic tires for trucks have been used in mm worth of Balloon Tires. Factory-owned test cars have covered an astonishing total of miles, mpplfl;ienting equally exhaustive tests made by tire companies themselves. Reo has pioneered and arized many new developments in its 20 years of life, and in a spirit of well eagerness to adopt proved refinements Reo offers Balloon Tire equipment.
