W lien u oar comes into the shop or the repair (rack, apply a Lockey in place of the worn standard key. The Lockey with its powerful spring action will firmly clamp the shoe to the head and eliminate destructive play between the parts If it makes good sense on new cars--the great majortiv are equipped with Lockeys--it makes good sense to install them on equipment in service. Lockeys will stop brake head wear and eliminate the need for replacing brake heads and beams. ' Loose, worn kevs not only cause brake head wear, but they also cause shattered brake shoes. The Lockey will eliminate this and pay for itself in reduced brake shoe breakage alone, within the first year1 Why ? Because the Lockey is a spring--a specially designed spring, heat treated for long life and tremendous power. What's more, its installation is simple: a few raps of a hammer and it's there to stay. Remove with a few raps in the opposite direction and it can be used again. BRAKE SHOE DIVISION Montreal, Quebec Thu advertuemanl appear* tn.

They give the greatest return on investment to bus and truck operators. Because they are "Friction Engineered" specifically for city transit systems... or tough hauls over steep mountain roads. That's why American Brakeblok thick block sales to both original equipment manufacturers and the replacement market have increased year after year. Behind this superior performance is Brakeblok's unique method of manufacture, which assures the most consistent quality and fnction level possible. Each block is individually molded...rather than cut from slabs... to guarantee uniform density. Thus the blocks resist fade, recover quickly from heat and moisture. Smooth, long wearing qualities protect drums, require fewer adjustments and relines. And balanced friction characteristics in every axle set as sure top performance for every type brake system. All good reasons why bus and truck operators in more than 50 countries rely on American Brakeblok thick blocks for long life and low maintenance costs.

Arosco's continuous ncrr mill liners improve grinding effi ciency. reduce liner cost up to 19% on a per ton basis Here's why With ordinary liners in your ball or rod mill there's more charge slippage.

We pioneered in the development of disc pads when disc brakes first became available on European cars years ago. And we're still the leading manufacturer of disc pads for original equipment on the continent When Detroit car makers eventually adopted the disc brake, these American Brakeblok disc pads were modified for the bigger and heavier American cars. Both European and American operators have dis covered that American Brakeblok disc pads provide the minimum compressibility necessary for high unit pressures and short brake travel. They have high physical strength, high friction properties, and are extremely heat-resistant And they are pre-bonded to the proper steel backs and shipped in boxed sets for all U.S. and European cars. We also furnish American Brakeblok heavy-duty blocks, rolls, drum-brake passenger car linings and axle sets...all consistent in their friction level and durability. Because of this superior quality, operators in more than 50 countries depend on Amencan Brakeblok friction products to keep vehicles roiling.

Nicro Mang*, the 14% manganese electrode that welders like to use, will do all your manganese steel build-up and re pair. If you're using stainless rod for welding manganese to carbon steel. Nicro Mang can save you dollars-- it sells for about half the cost of stainless. X-53 is a complete electrode for all-purpose hardfacing. It goes down fast, is easy to run and gives superior service life on parts subject to impact and abrasion. We have a sample kit containing these two rods for you. You don't have to buy another 50 pounds of electrodes to find out how these two rods can cut your costs.

SAFE BRAKES SECOND INTERVIEW OF A SERIES: Question: "As a large over-theroad fleet, covering the entire Eastern part of the U.S., you have an excellent safety record --and correspondingly low in surance rates. Why?'' Answer: "Because safety is im portant to us. Not only do we wish to protect lives, but with the high cost of insurance, a good safety record determines now much profit we're going to make." Question: "You give your trac tors' and trailers a routine in spection about every 3000 miles --and a major overhaul about every 100,000 miles. What do you do that some fleets don't?" Answer: "We give them a com plete overhaul . . and inspect them thoroughly whenever they're in the shop." Question: "How does that affect the brake system?" Answer: "Everything'scomplete ly overhauled, the cam bushings, the diaphragms, and ail. We cheick all bushings, pull-back springs, and the springs m the diaphragms. If new cams are needed, we put them in, and check them every 3000 miles. "Some fleets don't check their diaphragmsand springs when they overhaul a job They leave the old diaphragms in till they leak! We puU them!" Question: "What would you ad vise them to do?" Answer: "If a tractor or a trailer needs brakes, it's bound to have something else wrong. So you might as well start from scratch. On brakes--start from the bottom up. Check your air. Tear them apart--replace rusty springs and diaphragms " Question* "How would you sum that up?" Answer: "Put it back the way it was when you bought itP' Question: "Is it important to keep brake systems balanced?" Answer: "Yes1 Some men will pull the diaphragm off--and find that a spring's broken . . and they'll put one spring in it Now that's wrong! You'll get all your braking on the rest of the wheels and that one will be off. You'll wear out one lining faster than another." Question: "Do you need a balance between tractor and trailer?" Answer: "Sure, otherwise you're braking your trailer (for example) all the time . . until your trailer brakes are gone . . and sliding your tires all the tune on the trailer "With balanced units (same sized diaphragms and everything; you save on tires and you save on general wear. You save on everything--and most of all, you increase safety." Question: "What about brake lining?" Answer: "It's important! We try to get the best we can for the money." Question: "Whataboutdrums?" Answer: "If the drum is worn any amount, over so many miles, we replace the drum whether it's broken or not. Wedon'tgnnd them. We buy new drums because it doesn't cost much more than to remachine old ones And a re machined drum might still have cracks in it. We replace in sets .. . linings . . . drums . .. springs, etc." Question: "How important are drivers in `over-all' brake safety?" Answer: "Very important. We train them, and we keep a con stant check on them. All tractors have a 24-hour electnc clock that records everything--speed--mile age. We check these daily and keep the records for six months. We also have safety men on the road. They have radar, two-way radio and telephones--all the latest electronic controls to make sure our drivers live up to our policy of safe driving practices." Question: "How would you sum up your ideas on maintenance and safety?" Answer: "You spend money on maintenance in order tosavemoney m the long run. And it really pays off. We'd be out of business if we didn't do a good job. Regu lar Inspections ana a complete job are what really count. We know that when a tractor or trailer goes out. . . it's nght!"
