Headlamp Adjustment. Most headlamps on cars need adjustment at least once a month. Every motorist should bee that the headlamps project a distinct beam of light, and that the top of this beam is just below the lamp centre". This can be easily determined by standing about twenty-five feet in front of the car and measuring the height of the top of the beam on the clothing. If the car is empty when the test is made the beam must be somewhat lower than the lamp centres to compensate for the uplift which" occurs when the car is loaded.
