automatic stop device

[Kevin in NJ]

You know this new anti collision stuff is going to make it real hard to run someone down. There is the person you want to run down and you gun it...

Just as you are about to get satisfaction. You come to a grinding halt.

How depressing...

An auto stop for the A is easy. Just need to put a rod that extends about 20 or 30 feet in front the car that will push against the brake cross shaft. As you touch the car in front the brakes apply. To get a more gentle action you can have a telescoping rod with a spring inside.

See easy solution, no computer needed. Just make sure you are always centered on any motor cycles in front of you.

The answer is very clear as clearly stated at the start of the article. " Only newly manufactured cars " !
The question was answered before it was posted! There was never any suggestion it would apply to antique or used cars!, No need for concern or panic. Wayne

Yep the new brakes will work great on the Model A's .

This is a picture of what it will look like and how they work.
