Show SAFETY FACTORS IN AUTOMOBILES One of the greatest factors of safely safe-ly In a car Is Its balance that is the distribution of weight on the Wheels says L. b. Haines of the Ogden Motor Mo-tor Car company. If the weight is unequally distributed there is a dan-I dan-I gerous tendency to skid' on wet pavo- ments or curves. In the Essex, the weight has been so perfectly distributed distrib-uted that if you put each of the wheels on a scale, one at a time, It would be found that tho weight on each wheel was almost exactly the tame. The result la a car- fwhlch . lings to the turns, handles with the utmost ease and has the least tendency ten-dency to skid.' " |
