Many good and efficient automobile
locks have been called into existence
BY the epidemic Of automobile thefts,
and there Ii now no excuse for leav-
ing q car unprotected. The locks in
general use are Of several classes,
each presenting its own advantages
and open to its own objections. Elec-
trical locks for merely breaking the
ignition circuit were the first on the
scene. and are still used to some sx-
tent, although no expert automobile
thief would be delayed BY them for
more than few seconds, AZ he would
simply connect around the flock" with
. wire leading directly from the bat
tery to the igniter.
Complicated Leeds.
0asoline-line locks are useful but
somewhat complicated In their in
stallation. and introduce the question
able element Of additional opportun-
ity for gasoline leakage. Probably
the favorite method b . purely me-
chanical lock. on the steering gear. the
starting crank. or some other essen
tial part of the mechanism.
While all Of these locks may b ~
lied upon to prevent or at least delay
considerably the work of the thief.
