Headlight Alignment and Vehicle Safety Notes

In older cars or post accident restorations headlights often go out of proper aim. New automobiles retain legal lighting until a severe jolt misaligns them.

Sealed Beam Headlight System Introduced in 1940 Autos

The 1940 automobile line introduces a complete new lighting unit named The Sealed Beam Headlight System. It is designed to keep dirt, dust and moisture out, ensuring brighter, more reliable night visibility.

New Lamp Design Aims for Safer Night Driving

A sealed unit lamp improves output by corroding reflecting surfaces to scatter light, producing two beams for city and country driving. The system promises greater safety on streets and highways. Meanwhile hybrid corn growers report bacterial wilt, but University of Wisconsin figures show no signs in Wisconsin hybrids.
