Charles Adler of Baltimore Maryland envisioned a signal engineering solution to grade crossing danger after observing trains pass by orderly at yards and roads crowded with fast drivers. He proposed devices to force careful driving at crossing points to reduce accidents.
Political advertisement extols Ed Westbrook candidate for State Senate from the old Fifth District in 1916. Endorsers praise his integrity and record, noting his 2500 vote margin, fidelity to constituents, and influence in Austin as the Senate seeks such leaders.
Inventor Adler devised a system using concealed magnets in the roadway to cap car speed at 15 mph as it nears a crossing. The magnet activates relays and a governor, cutting ignition above the limit until the next magnet is reached, potentially aiding other traffic safety needs.
