line (car axis) on the screen. Next draw vertical lines (B-B) and (C-C) on the screen to the
right and left of the center line at a distance equal to one-half of the center-to-center distance
between the two headlamps.
Place lighting switch in the position which produces the country (upper) beam (bright
light). When the country (upper) beam is lighted the lower filaments on both lamps are
illuminated.
Independent adjustment of both horizontal and vertical aim is provided in "Sealed Beam"
headlamps, with the adjustment screws accessible from the front of the lamp after first
removing lens rim. The vertical adjustment screw is shown at (A) and the horizontal
adjusting screw at (C). The light beam is moved to the right or left by tightening or loosening
the horizontal adjusting screw (C). The beam may be raised or lowered by turning the
vertical adjusting screw (A).
Cover one lamp to obscure the beam of light and then adjust the beam from the other lamp
so that the center of the zone of highest intensity falls on the intersection of the horizontal
line (A-A) three inches below the lamp center and the vertical line directly ahead of the
lamp. Repeat the operation for the other lamp. No further adjustment is needed for the traffic
(lower) beam.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS AND FUSES
A circuit breaker incorporated in the lighting switch and an auxiliary circuit breaker
mounted on the instrument panel protects the lighting and other circuits against damage in
the event of a short or other derangement in the electrical system. Separate fuses are also
employed for the protection of optional equipment and accessory items, as follows:
The Electric Clock—has a 3 ampere fuse contained in the fuse case located at the back of
the clock.
Weather-Control—is protected by a 14 ampere fuse located in a fuse case on the left side
of the heater housing.
Radio—includes a 14 ampere fuse contained in the fuse case incorporated in the "A" lead
wire.
Drive-Master—is protected by a 10 ampere fuse located in the Drive-Master control
switch on the instrument panel.
Direction Indicator—has a fuse of 10 ampere capacity located in a fuse case attached to
the flasher unit lead wire.
A Fluid Cushioned Clutch incorporating a single cork-insert disc, is used exclusively in
Hudson cars to assure smooth engagement. Long life is assured through triple sealing the
unit against fluid loss. Heat developed within the clutch is kept at a minimum through proper
ventilation and the constant bath of fluid within the housing.
The only attention required is lubrication and a periodic check of the pedal-to-floor board
clearance to insure full travel of the clutch pedal and prevent the pedal from riding against
the floor board, which may result in slipping.
