Devices for adjustment of rear brakes by means of tapered bolts and rivets fitted into taperedholes. The clutch is of the reversed cone type and hasa lining of friction material which is secured to theclutch cone by means of staples, said to make a muchmore secure fastening than rivets. Provisions are madefor lubricating the clutch pilot bearing from the enginelubricating systems. The center hole through the crank-shaft extends through the clutch pilot and at the end ofthe pilot there is a valve, which is automatically openedwhen the clutch is thrown out, remaining open as longas the clutch is out. In order that too much oil may notget through to the clutch pilot during this period, theoil is required to pass through a cotton wad. Theclutch facing is always steeped in oil. A clutch brakein the form of a spring-controlled fiber pad is providedand presses against a special ring secured to the clutchcone. The position of the fiber pad and the spring leadcan be a
