NEW YORK, December I4-Nev
York firms, including the Standard Oil
Co., now are employing an armored Cal
trucking corporation to carry through
their entire weekly pay roll operations
getting the money from the bank, put
ting 1t into envelopes and placing them
In the hands of the employees.
This was revealed today by Harry N
Taylor, president of the largest armored
car corporation in the world, in dis
cussing this weeks pay roll hold-up in
YonkerS, in which seven robbers shot
up an armored bank car, wounded a
policeman and one of two bank en-
ployes, and grabbed 100000 in cur
rency. Mr.. Taylor took the interviewer
through a room in the offices of the
trucking corporation where a score of
young women were busy stuf1ng the
81 500. 900 pay roll of the Standard Oil
Co. into envelopes.
Our corporation moves about $780,
100000 week in gold and currency
through the streets of New York." he
said. Last Sunday we moved $845, ,000,-
600, including $675, 900 900 for the New
York Life. In the four years since we
began developing the armored cars we
have never had dollars loss"
An armored car was drawn up at the
curb in front of the working headquar-
terS of the corporation, and Mr.. Taylor
explained its construction and opera
ton. 1t is inclosed in quarterback of
chrome steel, proof against bullets from
any existing weapon. The drivers seat
is protected by an inclosure of bullet
proof glass, Seven-eighths of an inch
thick. made up of laminations of glass
of varying tensile strength, but with
perfect transparency Portfolios have \
trick steel device which will send bull
let back on recoil, to an outside
rnarksman. trying to shoot through
them, with force almost equal to that
of its original impulsion. Upper port
holes provide outlets for the muzzle of
machine gun
Each car is bonded for SOS. .000, ,000."
said Mr.. Taylor, or S5.o00,000 for the
driver and each Of the four guards. We
scramble the crews, and no member of
crew on any trip knows who his as
sociates are to be. You observe a small
lever on the inside of the steel cage.
This puts the car out of business when
1t is thrown by the men on the inside,
in case the chauffeur should be over
come.
when money is delivered the first
man steps out backward. protected by
another guard with a drawn revolver.
The second man descends in similar
manner, and these two men cover the
descent of the third man with the
money. The fourth man, remaining in
the car, mans machine gun, which
covers the approaches to the car and
the progress from the curb to the door.
Each man carries a As automatic
revolver, with plenty of extra loaded
clips, and there are sawed-off pump
suns in the car. shooting large buck
shot, which scatters freely and can
be made literally to spray the surround
lngs with lead. These weapons, with
me machine gun, are sufficient to repel
sn army. Not even bomb would wreck
he chrome steel fortress.
