Longer wearing brakes and the elimination of scoring have bean attained by Cycle-Bonding lin ings, instead of riverting them. Quieter and cooler brake action is produced by new heavier high- ribbed drums. Improvements in the hand brake have made it easier to set a feature that will appeal particularly to women. The steering wheel post has been tilted forward eight degrees, which lowers the top of the wheel rim slightly over one inch, result ing in better vision for the driver. Steering has been made easier and the transmission of road shocks minimized by the use of a new central steering system, with reserve caster. A newly-designed “Presto- matic” Fluid Drive Transmission, hydraulically operated, includes important refinements over for mer types and permits the sim plification of servicing.
