Obtain
these

figures,
as
the
case
may
be, on both
right
and
left
sides
of
the
car
and
compare
them
with
each
other.
If
the
two
figures differ by
more
than
V4-
inch, check
both
sp
rings
for
correct
installation
at
top
and
bottom. Look up
into
the
center
of
each
spring
t.o
make
sure
that
the
top
coil completely
sur-
rounds
the
pilot
flange in
the
frame
front
cross-
member. Also feel along
the
b
ott
om coil
to
the
end
of
the
coil
and
make
sure
that
it
indexes
correctly
with
lowest
point
of
the
spring
seat
ramp.
1f
the
two
spr
i
ngs
are
correctly
installed
and
the
"plus"
or
"minus"
figures on
right
and
left
sides
are
still
different
from
each
other
by
more
tha
n
'/.
~
inch,
correction
can
be
made
by
use
of
space
rs,
which
should be placed
between
spring
seat
and
sile
ncer
at
top
of
spring.
Each
spacer
will
raise
car
approximately
%
of
an
inch. No
more
than
two
such
spacers
should be used
with
anyone
spring.
If
more
than
two
space
rs
are
required,
replace the
spring.
Coil
springs
are
identified by
the
part
numbers
near
the
end
of
coils.
The
part
number
will also
indicate
n definite
step
in
relation
to
car
height,
the
higher
the
number
the
higher
the
car
will be
raised.
Car
hei
ght
can
be
changed
approximately
% inch by
using
a
lower
or
hig-her
part
number.
For
example, if a
spring
with
two
mnrk
s replaces a
spring
of
the
same
part
number
having
three
marks,
the
car
height
on
that
side
will be
increased
approximately
%
inch.
NOTE: Whenevel' the
h'ont
or 1'ear springs are
t'eplaced, the headlights shvuld
always
be re-
focussed.

DESCRIPTION
Center
Plane
brakes
are
of
the
d
rum
type, with
floating shoes mounted between two plates
lo-
cated
on
the
center
plane of the linings (Figs.
land2)
,
With
the
wheel cylinders mounted in the
same plane,
braking
forces
are
transmitted
equally across
the
width of the lining, giving
uniform
pressure
against
the
drum
at
all times.
The web of the shoe is calibrated in depth, so
that
when
the
brakes
are
applied, equal pres-
sures
are
also applied to
the
brake
drums
along
the
entire
length
of
the
lining.

The new

Plane brakes have more re-
serve, less fade and more lining
area
than
the
brakes
previously used, and because of
the
lower

(reducing

assures
complete extension of
the
bellows whenever the brakes
are
not
being ap-
plied.
In
the
released position,
the
bellows is filled
with
air
(atmosphere).
The
power produced by
the
unit
is developed when vacuum removes
the
air
from the bellows and causes the bellows to
contract
(due to continued atmospheric pres-
sure
on
the
outside of the bellows).
When application of
the
brakes
begins,
air-
vacuum pow
er
developed in the power
unit
is
applied
through
the
shaft
and yoke assembly
to the
brake
pedal. In
this
way, contraction of
the
bellows
assist
s
in
applying the brakes.
The design of
the
unit
is such
that
even
though the power
unit
performs much of the
work necessary to apply the brakes, the
oper-
ator'
s control of
the
brak
ing process is complete
and
he
lo
ses none of
the
brake

"
Although
there
is a mechanical
contact
be-
tween the power
unit
and the
brake
linkage
through
the push rod and yoke assembly,
this
contact exists only when the power
unit
is
assisting
in a
brake
application. Therefore,

in

At
any
point
during
brake
application
or
release
(whe
re
the
ope
rator
assumes
a
holding
posi-
tion)
the
unit
immediately
becomes
"p
oised,"
ready
to
respond
to
further
appli
cation
or
to
release
(Fig.15).
In
the
poised
position,
both
the
air

vacuum

are
closed
and
a

is
m
ainta
ined in
the
air
-
vacuum
bellows.
A
further
applying
mo
veme
nt
of
the
pedal
will
cause
fu

air
evacuation
of
the
bellows
to
add
power
to

. As
pedal
pressur
e
is
released,
the
ai

proportion-

to
admit
air
to

At

between
a

will
