Because of the increase of traffic on the highways in the last few years, retardation has become the most vital function of car operation; and safe retardation is as necessary as rapid retardation. Good brakes are as essential as a good engine. Becoming convinced of the many attendant advantages of four-wheel brakes, the authors began an intensive study of braking, the results of which are outlined.The features of construction of the Bendix-Perrot standardized four-wheel braking-system, which include: (a) standardized and improved controls, (b) standardized brakeshoes and (c) a simplified brake-operating layout or hook-up, are described and illustrated and the advantages to be obtained with these improvements are summarized.Because of the increase of traffic on the highways in the last few years, retardation has become the most vital function of car operation; and safe retardation is as necessary as rapid retardation.
