92 88 SUPER-SAFE CADILLAC BRAKES Cadillac's large brake drum and lining area helps the Cadillac driver to bring his car to a stop with minimum pedal pressure. In addition, Cadillac brakes are of the selfenergizing type. The two brake shoes are linked together at one end. Thus, as the first brake shoe is pressed against the revolving drum, the drum forces the first shoe to wedge the second shoe against the drum. This multiplies the force of the braking action while minimizing the amount of pressure required of the driver's foot on the brake pedal. NEW GROOVED LINING The remarkably sure, safe braking provided by Cadillac's big 12-inch brake drums and exceptionally large lining area (greater than most competitive cars) has been improved even further in 1954. A new lengthwise groove down the center of the primary lining provides better cooling for the lining and drum. As a result, hard usage of the brakes will not produce lining or drum overheating.
CADILLAC PARALLEL-LINK STEERING Parallel-Link steering in all 1954 Cadillac cars provides steering stability at all speeds and takes the "fight" out of the toughest roads. A short turning radius and accurate steering geometry are among the features of the Cadillac steering system. The addition of Cadillac Power Steering, now provided at no extra cost, makes steering easier than ever before in the 1954 Cadillac. (See Special Equipment Section for full information on Cadillac Power Steering.) 89
