wheels by hand. If more drag is felt on one wheel than on the others, back off on
the star wheel adjustment until equal drag is felt on all wheels.
Proper brake adjustments cannot be obtained if wheel bearings are not adjusted
properly. Correct brake adjustment will not insure equal braking action if tires are
worn unevenly or unevenly inflated, spring clips or shackles are loose, or if the
front wheel alignment is incorrect. Have your Terraplane and Hudson Dealer
check these adjustments regularly.
SHOCK ABSORBERS AND SPRINGS
Spring control is obtained on passenger cars through the use of four direct-
acting, self-compensating 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
Terraplane and Hudson 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 be
expected is the proper aiming of the headlamps. The right and left lenses are
interchangeable and can be used satisfactorily on either side. The lamps are fitted
with standard three-candlepower bulbs for the parking position and pre-focused
bulbs having a flanged mounting and employing a 21- candlepower filament for
city driving and passing, and a 32-candlepower filament for country driving.
When the main lighting switch is in the driving (second) 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 be aimed accurate-
ly, 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. Place the equivalent of a regular passen-
ger load in the rear seat so that light beam will not be too high under full loaded
conditions. Draw a horizontal line (AA), Figure 15, on the wall six feet long and
at a height equal to the height of the center of the headlamps from the floor. Sight
through the center of rear window and over the radiator ornament and determine
the exact center line of the car projected on the wall as indicated at point (B) in
the illustration. Measure one half the distance between the centers of the head-
lamps to each side of point (B) and draw the vertical lines (C) and (D) through
these points. These lines represent the vertical center lines of the lamps.
