TOURING MACK EASIER
Anything that will save expenditure of energy when, taking a long trip is welcomed by the tourist. Much is done to make passengers comfortable but the driver seems to feel that he must apply himself to the job at hand Without a moment of relaxation. One of the reliefs discovered by Ingenious drivers is using the left foot to operate the brake pedal when keeping the car under control on down grades. The muscles of a motorists left leg are sometimes stronger than those of his right leg, because they are accustomed to pressing out the clutch against fairly heavy spring pressure. It is easy to press the brake pedal with the left foot. Try it some time.
