New Rodor Device Stops Cor
Before 1t Can Ram Into Object

,aut writes, "the radar is re-
ducing car speed before you, the
driver, are actually aware Of i'm
pending danger. The car viii
then, if not manually halted. stop
before striking the object"
He reports that in a test in
Michigan, two radar-eQuipped
cars tried unSuccessfully at so
miles an hour to crash head-on.
Both stopped with ease many
yards apart" he says.
|, Mr.. Rabaut does not explain
what happens when one car
closely follows another on the
open highway at high speed, or
when one car attempts to pass
another in front d it. To be
successful, the device presumably
would have to distinguish be-
tween such moving objects and
fixed or oncoming objects that
constitute a danger.
Since the radar does not oper-
ate at speeds under 10 miles an
hour, it does not interfere with
parking or entering q garage.
Mr.. Rabaut's account does not
say when the device may become
available commercially, but says
it will cost mo more than power
steering"

w. A. Patterson estimated the

mer.
Mr.. Patterson was not ready
to say which aircraft company
will get the contract, but he did
predict that most, or all. Of the
lines in this country will obtain
planes from the same firm.
Mr.. Patterson said he was
there to familiarize myself

my time
Information he gathers win be
presented, he added, to UAL di-
Irectors August Is at a meeting

Representative Rabaut. Demo-

impulses guaranteed to halt the
car should anything or anyone
appear in its path" Mr.. Rabaut
reports.

device. He was driven around
by the inventor, Carl Rashid
an engineer from Mr.. Rabaut's

The faster the car moves. the
farther the radar beam projects
in front of it. A secondary radar
screen on the back Of the car
prevents accidents when the cal
