This report describes some braking tests on a car having three alternative ratios of front to rear braking and on three other cars having different ratios of braking to weight distributions. Braking distances and decelerations were measured and the stability and the incidence of wheel locking were noted. Most tests were carried out by attempting to brake as heavily as possible without locking the wheels. A few locked wheel braking tests were carried out for comparison.
