Tiny Device Would Warn of Tornadoes
Dr. Charles N. Kimball heads the Midwest Research Institute which has developed a compact warning device for civil defense and storm alerts. The cigarette pack sized unit, priced around $2, would be installed in homes and powered by the electric system, set off by a plant impulse, and could alert 95 percent of Americans within seconds. Demonstration in a city of about 100,000 is planned, with Civil Defense Administration backing.
