Scientist Uses Ruler in Auto
mobile Collision.

State College, Pa.-The difference
between death in head-On collision
in an automobile travelling 80 miles
an hour and safety is about % inches.
The accident which proves this, and
the notifications in motor car con-
struction which it suggests, are de-
scribed by Fl. L. Yeagley, physicist Of
Pennsylvania State college.
Il was climbing the side of Nittany
mountain" he says, "when car
came around curve at 30-mile speed,
with the driver asleep at the wheel.
ut dashed head-on into concrete
abutment. Though the car was to-
tai wreck, it's driver was only bruised"
The scientist made measurements to
account for the seeming miracle, and
found it was no miracle at all.
Examination revealed first that the
car moved about two feet between the
time the bumper hit the concrete and
complete stoppage.
The steering wheel, which had sup
ported the head, arms and chest of
the sleeping driver, had been bent for
ward about six inches.
From this" says Mr.. Yeagley, "it
is apparent that the man was stopped
through a distance of about 21s feet
go inches). This is about the same
as falling into firemen's net from
the fourth floor"
He calculated that any person sit
ting in the front seat beside the driv-
er must have pitched forward at near
~ full car speed across the space be-
tween him and the windshield.

Twenty-Eight Inches Is Life Margin
in TIead-on Motor Car Collision

By the time the passenger struck
these objects the car would have been
so nearly stopped that his body would
have only about inches to travel
forward while there was still left any
of the cushioning forward motion Of
the car.
This impact, Mr.. Yeagley calculates,
would be probable killing force"
1t is rs inches less than the driver
had for stopping.
The scientist observed that often the
driver escapes injury, while a passen-
ger is killed.

~ AYTONA BEACH, Fla, Febru-

speed records Sir Malcolm
Campbell, 47-year-old English
man, established are unsatisfactory to
him, and he prepared to try to better
them today.
Streaking down the beach at low
tide yesterday in the face of none too
favorable course and wind conditions,
Campbell broke his own previous marks
by driving the mile at 253.968 miles an
hour, the kilometer at Isl. $40 and the
5 kilometers at 241 569 miles an hour.
His 12-cylinder Blue Bird racing car
was clicked one way over smile dis
tance at 244200 miles an hour, but
timing traps failed to work on his Sec
ond run, and he was not allowed rec
ord for that distance. Regulations re-
quire that a driver be timed two ways
over a designated course to establish
record.
NN his first run south over the 12-
~ mile course, Campbell was clicked
at 13.46 seconds over the measured
mile for the astounding speed of 267. .459
miles an hour. His second trial was
timed at 14.89 seconds for a speed of
24l.773 miles an hour. The average Tor

Because of strong head wind,
Campbell said he was greatly dissatis-
fed with his trials yesterday and that
if the wind subsidies by low tide today
he should be able to boost all his rec
ords by wide margin. He said he
also might try for new records for 5
