Traffic Speed Timer Demonstrated by City Officials
A. Névio unveiled a portable traffic speed timer on West Fifth Street. The device uses two hoses spaced one tenth mile apart to trigger an instrument that records speed in red digits and travel time in black digits as a car passes the first hose and crosses the second. Other vehicles between the hoses do not affect the reading. The timer is already in use in nearby cities and has prompted motorists to slow down.
