Ressexe Those Signs


Perhaps you have wondered, dri-
wing past those signs which warn
that the eye of radar is upon you,
whether this electronic fiy-cop
really works? We can assure you
that 1t does. Traffic authorities re-
port that the average motorist is
cutting down his speed as much
as 10 miles an hour on radar pa
trolled highways. and that, while
automobile fatalities are still on
the increase nationally, they have
been reduced where ra6ar is on
the job
This electronic equipment. in
the experimental stage only few
years ago-has now proved beyond
question that excessive speed is
the major highway killer. Tt has
proved also to be our best hope of
checking this slaughter. Further,
as police officers have learned how
best to use this scientific aid to
sanity, the equipment itself has
been greatly improved.
The latest is radar speed meter,
developed by the Admiral Copper
alton. which can be adjusted to any
prescribed speed limit from Is
Imph to the top limits. and operates
only when a violator exceeds this
preset limit. It clocks speeders
going in either direction with a
meter calibrated in miles per
hour for instant reading. Bnt this
~r.4S q
movie camera attachment, with
synchronized flood lights, that will
photograph-day or night-the cf-
tenders license plate and the speed
meter reading. There's still an
other accessory. tape-recorder
by which police officer. talking
into a microphone, records de-
iScription of the car and driver and
the license number. When the tape
rs played back, 1t causes the meter
to show the speed reading before
the. officers voice is heard
And to conserve police manpower
and eliminate the dangerous and
time-consuming job of chasing
speeders. Admiral provides a re-
mote, portable traffic light that can
be synchronized with the speed
meter to stop the violator down the
road a piecei
In these amazing and fool-proof
new detection devices. there Is
fresh hope for victory in the war
against speeders-the acknowledged
highway killers. But with both de-
Y lection and arrests brought UP to
100 per cent, it would stils be neces-
sarv for our courts to make the
punishment fit the crime"
