Show Watch Motor Car Brakes During Severe Weather Most any brake adjustment will work reasonably well In warm dry weather, when roads are dry and everything works freely ; but much greater care must be exercised in winter, when roads are slippery and brake bands and Joints are covered with mud and ice. Have the brakes looked after frequently to be sure that they take hold evenly and the movable mov-able joints should be frequently oiled with thin penetrating oil and If possible pos-sible covered to prevent mud and ice from freezing on them and locking them. In driving, one should use the brakes very cautiously, as a sudden application of the brakes is almost sure to cause a skid, and even a slow pressure may produce the same results re-sults if the brakes are badly oft In adjustment. |
