BRAKE SYSTEM
BRAKES—Patented Double-Safe Hydraulic Brakes employing a reserve mechan-
ical system operating from the same brake pedal, are used.
The brake shoes are of the Bendix Duo-Servo single anchor type, see Figs. 41 and
42. The shoes are expanded at the top or anchor end by the wheel cylinders, which
are actuated by hydraulic pressure exerted by the master cylinder through foot
pressure applied to the brake pedal.

If at any time, the hydraulic system should fail due to an accident or some other
cause, continued pressure on the foot pedal automatically applies the mechanical
reserve system on the rear wheels. See Fig. 43.
BRAKE FLUID—Numerous rubber parts are used in the hydraulic system which
makes it necessary that only Hudson Hydraulic Brake Fluid No. 21 be used. This
fluid is entirely free of mineral oil and
other ingredients which are detrimental
to the rubber parts and may cause swell-
ing and early deterioration.
The master cylinder, Fig. 44, is self-
compensating and should be kept at least
half full at all times. As dirt in the hy-
draulic system may cause leaks to de-
velop always wipe off the master
cylinder at the filler plug before remov-
ing plug to check the fluid level.
The hydraulic system must be bled if
air enters the system. A spongy feeling
pedal is usually an indication that bleed-
ing is necessary.
