The installation of electric eye"
counters to check highway traffic
on six roads in Delaware is near
ing completion by the State High

pected to be in operation this week
end. Workmen are now finishing
work on the automatic 'tabulators"

Newark; Route Is north of Smyr-
ma; Route 13 south of Greenwood;
Route 113 north of Milford, and on
Road No. 40, east of Georgetown.
Photographic Cell Principle
The counters, it is explained,
work on the principle of the photo
electric cell. Two beams are sent
across the road and passing We
hicles break the rays setting up an
electrical impulse which registers
the car on a receiving unit. There
will be two counters on the road
with the distance between the
source and receiving unit of each
about so feet. They will be from
IL to Is feet off the road and will
have an elevation of about three
feet, eight inches. To insure ac-
curacy in counting traffic the
counters will be on an angle OF
about 25 degrees from one another.
