V ' £- - * - ;NV '' •' ,♦. > ' J Questions a Answers. 1. How do Hexdees work? Hexdees are simple devices, each unit having as its principal parts a forging, two rollers ard a set screw. They are mounted on the springs near the eyes, and become integral with them. In shock absorbers of the conventional the required friction for control/tag spring acti ° n is developed in mechanisms mounted on the chassis frame and tied to the axles with straps or cables. Hexdees, in contrast, develop the necessary controlling friction between the leaves of the springs themselves. 2. Why are Hexdees better than ordinary shock-absorbing devices? Tying chassis frame to axle with straps or cables can only retard the rebound of the springs. Hexdees control not only the rebound, but also the downthrust. Hexdees go into action at the first sign of spring deflection, and increase their activity as the need demands. Thus they control every spring movement. 3. Do balloon-tyred cars need Hexdees? . Yes, much more than cars with highpressure tyres. The vibration in balloon tyres so nearly synchronises with the vibration of the springs that it intensifies tho up and down movement of the car body and causes " galloping." 4. Do Hexdees prolong the life of the springs? Yea. for two reasons. First, the vio* lance of the up and down movement (the result of a shock) of the spring controlled by Hexdees is less than it vould be if the spring were free. This means lower stresses. Second, the number «>f vibrations required to bring She spring equipped with Hexdees to rest following a shock is reduced about 50 per cent. S. What practical results do Hexdeet give the motorist? As the result of new principles, new design and new construction, Hexdnes offer the motorist double comfort at half cost with an installation requiring only a few minutps. Hexdees provide a car with permanent protection from the rapid depreciation caused by rough streets and roads, and require no upkeep expense or attention. •!„ , 'V» "f >,
