Actual braking effectiveness is practically doubled by Buick four-wheel brakes. This is accomplished by stowing down the two front wheels. Each brake band has a three-quarter wrap or grip on its brake drum, rather than the half-way wrap in cqfomon practice. The Buick four-wheel brakes ore an integral part of the Buick front axle design. Their arrangement and operation are simple. The front brakes are coupled in relation to the rear so that when the brake pedal is operated more pressure is put on the rear brakes than on the front. • Buick four-wheel brakes [on all models] are one of many definite advances in motor car operation and maintenance that the 1924 Buicks have contri buted to automobile transportation.
