Wounded to
Drive Cars

Detroit, June 20 - AP - The
American soldier who comes out
of the war minus an arm or even
two legs and an arm will be able
to drive an automobile.
This is assured by the Society OF
Automotive Engineers after months
devoted to development of special
equipment in cooperation with the
Army Surgeon Generals Staff and
the American Association OF Vehi-
Gle Administrators, and tests by
handicapped soldiers themselves.
The soldier will not require a
specially-built vehicle; he can have
his old car or a new one tailored
to meet his particular require
ments. A few special devices easy
to manipulate, attached to the
steering wheel post, the dash board
or the foot pedals provide all the
controls needed. The special de-
vices do not replace conventional
controls; they supplement them
and do not interfere with normal
operation OF the vericle by other
persons.
During the months OF study and
actual tests the industry engineers
developed enough driving aids for
virtually any combination of limb
amputations.
