Training Donated To tSG.hOssI

Learning drivers at Southern
High school can give it the gun
up TO theoretical 50 miles per
hour, park, pass, back up and go
through most motions of automo-
bile operation without moving an
inch or endangering themselves or
other motorists
This is the result of a driver
training machine formally pre-
scented to the school Tuesday after
noon by the Western Maryland
Chapter of the Maryland Motor
Truck association.
The device has a standard auto
mobile control panel and steering
wheel, but instead of putting the
student in charge of several
hundred horsepower, it provides
him with 10-inch model sedan,
which weaves and maneuvers on
painted roadway" moving in
front of the driver
The machine is designed to gauge
reaction time and to familiarize
the beginning motorist with the
feel of the wheel and the sensation
of actually plotting vehicle under
various road conditions. II is pos
sible to shift gears. increase or de-
crease speed, turn, park and back
up, and the little auto faithfully
follows the commands of the
driver.
Similar devices are used by many
large vehicle operators, such as
trucking lines and taxi fleets, to
determine the skill and ability Of
employees.
A formal presentation of the ma
chine was made this week by Fran
els w. Sanders. of Oakland, recent
ly elected president of the Mary
land Motor Truck association, at
special ceremonies at Southern
High school. 1t was accepted on
behalf of the school by DR.. James
S. Collins, principal.

town Mr. Sanders, president of
Sanders Motor Freight, Inc,
