Somethinn To Try

Most motorists are familiar enough
with the sort of switches used in
connection with stop light" signal
ing devices to make the following
suggestion worth trying:
When driver reaches Tor tho
en- rgencY brake it often happens
that if he had time to sound the
horn. or happened to think of it, the
pedestrian or motoriSt ahead might
be able to get out of the way in time
avoid q collision. 1t often happens
that the people being run into are
not aware of the danger. Meanwhile
the driver is silently making an CT
TT to stop.
Why not. therefore. attack one of
these stop light" switches to the
mergency brake and have it COM
III tie the circuit to the horn instead
of the signal light? The horn would
automatically blow when the brake
was used. To keep the horn from
blowing when the emergency brake
is used merely to hold the car in
position, as when parking it is only
necessary to have another manually
operated switch to cut out the de-
vice when IT, car is not in opera
ton.
Keeping the car confined to the
garage is the surest way of saving
money for the man you'll eventu-
ally sell it to.
