BRAKES WHICH “HANG ON"
A disconcerting and even dangerous vagary of. a rear brake occurs when the brake takes hold fiercely and does not immediately release when the foot is taken off the brake pedal. Of course, this anay be due to defective mechanism in the brake assembly itself, but before going to the trouble of dismantling the whole brake to search for this, lubricate all the brake mechanism, such as rods and cross-arms very carefully. With , some cars the spindle which operates the brake slipes, and to one end of which the lever which connects with the flexible brake cable is attached, is of considerable length and runs through a tube which operates the other brake on the same wheel. Neglect to keep this cross-arm and tube well oilfed has been known to cause one to bind inside the other and to produce the effect of making the brake lag for some seconds after the pedal is released.
