crista who stop at the side of
the pared highways to fix pane
tared tires often pick up other
panctares before they leare ; the
pot, . -
This theory Is adranced by
R. H. Baldock. assistant state
highway engineer, after watch
In for two years the results of
operation of the state's magnet
Ized - highway sweeper. Tacks,
nails, wire and other sharp ma
terials that drop opon the high
way are easily swept or flicked
off the parement by passing cars,
bat when they reach the rough
shonldexs, they stick there, to
be picked op by the tires of cars
that are halted at the roadside.
The magnet road sweeper
and the state has only one of
them has prored a big success
In the two years it has been used,
Baldock says. In 1929 it pick
ed op metal objects from the
highways weighing a total of
13,870.5 pounds, and by far the
greater part of this was 'from
the rough edges of the improved
highways. nx
The 'magnet sweeper was built
by the department, although It
does- not claim credit for the in
vention. This belongs to an Id
aho engineer. The sweeper is
mounted on a one-top truck And
i provided with a lifting mechan
ism so that it can be raised clear
of all obstructions when the mag
net is not in operation. The
current is furnished a. 110-volt.

change the polarity of the cur
rent occasionally. At a distance
of three inches from the ground
the magnet has a lifting power
of about 200 pounds. The whole
cost of the outfit, including the
truck, wag about $2,000.
Two men are required to op
erate the machine, and the total
average dally expense is. about
$30, or. 50 cents a mile traveled.
It has been found that an op
erating speed of . six miles an
hour gives the best results. The
machine operates continuously.
In the summer over the districts
that are snow-covered In winter,
and In the winter in the milder
climes of the state. -
On one occasion a container
full of tacks that was being car
ried on a truck sprang a leak.
Tacks were sown over a state
highway for a distance of sev
eral miles before the leak was
found. Motorists were helpless.
Dozens were stopped with flat
tires. The magnet sweeper,
which happened to be in a near
by distlct, ws sent fo. It picked
up the tacks at one swoop.
