The emergency brake is used to keep the hub at the other end of the rear end from turning. The great thing about it was that there were no belts to worry about. I could adjust the friction of the tire by adjusting air pressure in the tire. To control speed, I just adjusted the idle on the carb. (Ted Slaght, 2247 Kum Hattin Rd., Putney, Vt. 05346)
