The theory, not infrequently
heard, that trains will be equipped
with radar to prevent wrecks has
been knocked down by w. P. Hilliard,
general manager Of the Bendix
radio division. This official of the
Bendix Aviation Corp, a large war
time supplier of radar to the Army
and Navy, says: "The success with
radar has endowed 1t In the pub
lie mind with magical properties
which the facts simply do not bear
out. While further research and de-
velopment may eventually result In
improvement which will solve the
problems of seeing around curves
or behind hills, techniques and
equipment have not yet advanced to
point where satisfactory results
can be expected from the use OF
radar on trains"
