'Morning Sick' Brakes Caused By Moisture By PAUL LEE Chief Sales Engineer, Raybestos Div., Raybestos-Manhattan, Inc.

Do you ever have the feeling that your brakes aren’t working right when you first apply them in the morning?

You may feel your car pull to one side. Braking action may be erratic, uneven. Or perhaps you find it takes longer than usual to stop from moderate speeds. If you have ex-

perienced these symptoms, don’t worry! Your brakes probably have a touch of morning' sickness. All automotive braking systems use friction to stop the car. This friction is created when the brake lining presses against the braking surface (brake drum or disc brake rotor). Ideally, the brake lining and brake drums — or brake rotor, if you have disc brakes — should be dry. That’s when the maximum coefficient of friction will be developed and the brakes wifi work best. But sometimes moisture from overnight dew or extremely humid air gets on both the brake lining and the brake drum or rotor surface. Usually a gentle braking action wifi cure this problem. When you back out of your parking space or driveway the first brake application may be all that’s needed to drive off the moisture. When you apply your brakes the friction created when the lining and drum or rotor surfaces come together builds up heat. This heat usually warms the braking surfaces just enough to evaporate the moisture. If moisture buildup is

sickness is to apply gentle brake pedal pressure for a distance of about 50 feet — 6 to 7 car lengths — while moving forward at about 10 to 15 mph.

CLEAR REMINDER When thinking about antifreeze for your car this winter, don’t forget the windshield washers.
