Then note which braking wheel makes the heaviest mark on the floor. The heaviest mark indicates that this band is much tighter than the other and should be released or the other one shculd be made tighter as the case may be to make them uniform in adjustment as well as properly adjusted.

If the ground is at all wet or icy, the car wheels can not get traction and must slide. If the ground is dry, the wheels can get traction, but you can grind off a lot of per~y good rubber ~~ Delicioa· Dinner,. Extra fine food and thoughtful service make Sheridan Cafe dinners delicious!
