Westinghouse Brakes Keep
Chandlers from Skidding
To Great Extent
"'Vith the number of motor cars
Increasing on the highways, the
proW.m preeented to aatomotiTe
engineers has been to increase the
safety of these automobiles."
states Mr. Mat-Donald local
Chandler distributor.
"As a consequence, the import
ance of good brakes continues to
be of utmost concern. At first
two wheel brakes seemed suffi
cient, then came the demand for
four-wheel brakes, until practi
cally every car now uses them.
Four-wheel brakes have been ac
cepted by the motoring public, but
engineers have found that still
they can be improved upon.
"So now Chandler is proving
the claims of Us. engineers by us
lng Westinghouse vacuum four-
wheel brakes as standard equip
ment on every model it feuilds
Public officials, safety nuncils
and many other organizations
who are fundamentally interested
n safety assert the fact that these
Drakes are one of the greatest
safety factors introduced within
recent years on a motor car.
"Tests recently made at the
Chandler factory and by many who
have put Westinghouse brakes to
trial, have proven that these new
brakes will not skid when applied
ori the wettest pavement. Thi
point was proven by Chandler, at
this time because, driving from
now on will be largely over wet
streets, up until the warm days of
summer, consequently most every
motorist is Interested in how
Westinghouse brakes react to such
driving conditions.
"Most everyone who has had an
opportunity to try this new brake
development are surprised to see
that with the slightest touch of
the toe the car can be .stopped
quicker and smoother than the
average car equipped with ordi
nary brakes. Because of the great
safety attributes of these brakes
and because of the fact that they
reduce physical effort, it is easier
for any Chandler owner to drive
safely.
"So interested have traffic offi
cials become in this brake innova
tion of Chandler's that they have
visited Chandler salesrooms in all
sections of the country, reports
show, and have given their un
qualified endorsement. Chandler
officials are indeed proud of the
tact that they have introduced a
device with their motor cars that
will aid nationally, the safe and
sane driving movement," con
cludes Mr. ?!aDonald.

To Berkeley. CaL, goes die distinction of operating
the first police fleet which is completely rsdio-equipped.
In line with his policy of providing every scientific
aid for his men. Police Chief August Vollmer, well
known criminologist, sponsored installation of fixed'
tuned short wave sets tinder the rear decks of these
Buicks, thereby combining quick communication and
speedy pursuit in a manner which greatly increases the
odds against crime. In support of Chief Voilmer's
methods, it is pointed out that Berkeley requires
the smallest police force in the country population
considered.
FLINT, MICH., March 17. Po
lice Chief August Vcllmer of Berk
eley, Cat., has just completed In
stallation of radio sets in all the
Buicks comprising the city's po
lice department fleet, according to
word from the Howard Automo
bile Company, Pacific Coast dis
tributors of Buick cars. The com
bination of radio communication
and fast pursuit machines, in Mr.
Voilmer's opinion, is one which
will vastly increase the odds a
gainst crime.
Chief VoMmer is widely known!
for his work in criminology. He
is frequently called into consul
tation on police subjects in other
cities, and asked to perscribe for
conditions confronting authorities
there. His policy of providing his

own men with the most up-to-date
equipment at the disposal of sci
ence has attracted much atten
tion to him, over a period of sev
eral years.
Among the residents of Berke
ley, this policy lg credited to a
very large extent with making in
possible for that city to maintain
law and order with the smallest
police force, per capita of popula
tion. In the country.
Past indications of Mr. .Voil
mer's convictions on the subject
of crime prevention included
equipping his men with Blcks so
that they might be prepared for
reliable pursuit cars. His most
recent step, installation of radios
in all these cars, was aimed at pro
viding instantaneous communica
tion with the men manning the
cars, no matter in what part of
the city they might be.
Within a few seconds after an
alarm is received at headquarters
lights flash in the drivers com
partment of each car, notifying
its crew that a message for them
Is on the air. By means of the
fixed-tuned short wave sets locat
ed in the rear deck. It is then
possible to receive the message
and mobilize for actfon with
any emergency requiring fast and' minimum of lost time.
