MOTOR DICTOCRAPH
Is CADILLAC FEATURE

The popular idea is that the dlcto-
graph is a mysterious sort Of instru-
ment whose use is confined solely 10 the
detection of crime by recording for de-
tectives the conversations Of criminals.
But the Cadillac Motor Car Company
has found other and more pleasant uses
for the photograph.
This little device is part Of the equip
ment of all Cadillac chauffeured vehi-
cles. Through it, the owner or passen-
ger within the car communicates with
the chauffeur
The dlstograph. as installed in the
Cadillac. is exceedingly unobtrusive. A
little plate set In the side of the body,
flush with the upholstering takes the
place of the black tube and transmitter
of the old fashioned speaking tube.
Beside the transmitting plate arc two
small buttons
When one Of these buttons is pressed
a buzzer outside attracts tne chauffeur
attention. Then the other button is
pressed. and the line Of communication
TO the chauffeur is open. The driver i.
not obliged to place a receiver to hi:
car-fhe passengers voice comes 10 HIN
from a miniature reproducing horn Sc
at the top of the seat-back. No sounC
is transmitted through the dictograpl
from the interior Of the car to the
driver unless the proper button is
/ pressed. When the button Is released
the line of communication is closed.
