Can Hay Lose
Wheel Brakes
By BILL CKOWELL
Ral Mgh ? It sounds like heresy,
coming from a traffic safety ad
vocate. but the automobile of the
future may not have any brakes
on the wheels.
Reason is they are notoriously
ineffective at high speeds on wet
or ley surfaces.
This startling auto "belive-it-or
not" comes from Andrew J. White,
director of Motor Vehicle Re
search. Inc., a privately financed
proving ground for autos and
trucks in South Lee, N. 11.
White goes on to say, "Our
present braking system is anti
quated and might be the cause of a
large proportion of accidents and
injuries due to the present design
Lhat is rapidly becoming obsolete."
Obsolete, did he say? And how.
White continues. "This modern 4
*heel hydraulic braking system is
capable of holding up to 00 per
:ent of the weight of the car but
available friction between the tire
and the road seldom exceeds 80
percent clean dry pavement. The
moment the surface becomes slip
pery with rain, snow or ice the i
^raking system becomes almost |
jseless. In fact, most safety organ
izations warn drivers against the
use of their brakes on ice or wet
surfaces."
So what's the answer? If they
lake the brakes . off the wheels
tvhere we've kinda got accustomed
to having them, what's to stop the
:ar:
White suggests improved auto
matic transmissions of the future
may provide a more efficient 'stop
ping formula.
"Some automatic transmissions
provide braking efficiencies on ice
or slippery surfaces of more use
for the average driver than conven
tional brakes which may lock. This
type of dynamic braking is used
on military tanks and is being con
sidered for highway trucks at the
present time.
"Our tests on icy surfaces dis- 1
close that automatic transmissions
pro, vide an excellent braking media
without skidding if propertly hand
led by the driver. Tests of 47 ve
hicles over a three year period
proved that the automatic transmis
sion was a better means of stopping
on slipperly surfaces than the
brakes of the vehicle.
"As car speeds increase our pres
ent braking system becomes more
and more obsolete and this is fur
ther aggravated by wet or icy sur
faces.
"Landing flap types of brakes
have been used on some race cart
with success and may be a means
of braking the car of the future at
extremely high speeds."
Welt mayfce so, but when you
need 'em bad, don't it feel good to
stomp those old fashioned brakes?
