The clearance at both ends of the secondary shoe should not vary more than
.003". Should the variation be greater than this it will be necessary to relocate the
anchor pin. This work should be done by an authorized Hudson and Terraplane
Service Station. (In case of clearance variation it is desirable that clearance at the
anchor end he less than at the adjusting end.)
(4) Spread the brake shoes by means of a screw driver inserted through the hole
(C) engaging the notched adjusting screw wheel until the shoes are expanded
against the brake drum so drum can just be turned by hand.
(5) Pull hand brake lever until equalizer bar plate is A" from stop, Figure 16.
(6) Pull rear brake cables tight and adjust ends so clevis pins just enter holes in
plate. The rear face of the equalizer plate must be parallel to the face of the stop
after this adjustment is made.
(7) Release hand brake.
(8) Release adjusting screw at each wheel until the brakes are just free of drag
and replace feeler gauge hole covers and wheels.
(9) Lower car and test for balance on brake testing machine or road. Always
loosen adjusting screw on tight brakes rather than tighten adjusting screw on
loose brakes to get balance. This is to safeguard against one or more dragging
brakes.
SHOCK ABSORBERS AND SPRINGS
The spring leaves are lubricated with a thin coating of graphite grease and
covered to prevent entrance of road dirt or water and preserve the lubricant.
Spring control is obtained through the use of four direct-acting, self-compen-
sating shock absorbers. By using a large quantity of fluid working under low
pressure, accurate control is obtained and there is no variation due to changes in
operating temperatures.
The large reserve of fluid, the low operating pressure and the double seal
practically eliminate the loss of fluid. The fluid should, however, be maintained
at the proper level and it is recommended that this be checked by an Authorized
Hudson and Terraplane Service Station at least twice a year.
HEADLAMPS
The headlamps are designed to give maximum safe illumination under all
driving conditions. The only adjustment necessary to obtain the results which
should he expected is the proper aiming of the headlamps. The right and left
lenses are interchangeable and can he used satisfactorily on either side. The lamps
are fitted with standard 1-candle power bulbs for the parking position and
pre-focused bulbs having a flanged mounting and employing a 32-candle power
filament for city driving and passing, and a 32-candle power filament for country
driving. When the main lighting switch is in the driving (right) position, the light
beams can be changed to the high or country driving position or to the low or city
driving position by depressing and releasing the toe board control switch.
Adjustment
In order to get the proper lighting effect, the headlamps must he aimed
accurately, as follows:
Place the car on a level floor or driveway squarely in front of a white wall or
screen at a distance of twenty-five feet. Draw a horizontal line (AA), Figure 20,
