thief could simply reach behind the
instrument board, cut the wires
back of the switch and make a new
circuit on which the ignition system
would operate perfectly.
This cannot be done on the new
Ford, because the wires run direct
from the switch into an armOred con-
duit which is integral with the dash.
In order to tamper with the switch
the thief would either have to take
the instrument board to pieces or
cut the steel dash or armored con-
duit. Except under most eXtraorGi-
nary circumstances, no thief would
have the tools, the time or the free
dom from possible interruption neces-
sary to the completion of such a diff
ficult and tedious task.
This new Ford lock performs two
operations at once. 1t opens the ig-
milton circuit and grounds the distrib-
utter at the same time. AnO.her adj
vantage is that, being concerned en-
tirely with the ignition system, it
provides protection against theft with
out in any manner interfering with
the mechanical car controls, such as
transmission or steering
