. Automotive industries . ly located, for front stands are increasing in num-ber. Only in isolated cases is the stand pivoted round- about the center of the machine, Douglas, one of the firmswith the largest output (.8000 per annum) arranging asingle stand in this Although it appeared probable at the 1919 show that a• horseshoe brake with pads apply to the front tire rimwas being rapidly discarded, it has not lost ground dur-ing the past twelve months, and 76 per cent of machineshave this type of brake despite its universal condemna-tion by users; 18 per cent have a special V rim securedto the spokes, to which a segmental pad is applied; 4per cent have expanding shoes and 2 per cent contract-ing bands, both the latter applying to drums of from 5to 8in. diameter secured to the hub. The prevalence of the belt transmission, with or with-out a primary chain, accounts for the fact that the rearbelt rim is made use of for back brakes in 56 per centof machines. Only 4 per cent of makers fail to make. use of this rim when a belt drive occurs. Of the remain-der, 25 per cent have expanding shoes in 6 to 8-in. di-ameter drums, 14 per cent fit a special V rim, as in thecase of the V rim front brake already referred to, and5 per cent have contracting bands. Only two makers concentrate the brake gear on therear wheel, the Bat having expanding shoes within adrum attached to the hub and a contracting band onthe outside of the same drum, while on the Coulson twocontracting bands applying to hub drums are used. A CABINET Conference held in Tokyo has passed thedraft of the revised Japanese patent laws. Ths newlaws, which will be immediately presented to the ImperialDiet for approval, provide for the collection of publicviews as in patents applied for before the applications areofficially considered, the fixing of the period of cancellaionof patents within five years after their being granted, thegranting of patents to the actual inventors or employeesinventing for th
