William H. Morris, superintendent, Illinois State Police, is making this car and eigWj other cars available for a vis* to areas throughout the state to offer the residents an opportunity to check the accuracy of their speedometers. State Trooper Robert J. Navickey, who is driving the car, said the king-sized speedometer is calibrated so it shows the exact speed at which the car is travelling. Trooper Navickey said: "tlfl> speed indicator causes much comment as the car travels on major highways throu g h o u t the state. It calls attention to the speed at which a person is travelling, and it seems to remind drivers to stay within the state speed limit of 65 mph." The speed indicator is mounted so that it can be read by motorists approaching the squad car from the rear. DriiJ ers behind the police vehicle can compare speedometer readings and determine whether their own is correct. "It's not likely that the one on the squad car is wrong", Trooper Navickey said, "as it is calibrated at least once a day by radar checks." "The car will travel every mile of primary highway. i£i District 2 within the next fe^ij months," Trooper Navickey said. Buffalo Bill Cody was one of the riders for the Pony express (operated 1860-1861) and once rode 322 miles in 22 hours, a record never surpassed. iUIET Mueller Climatrol AIR COHBIIMMIIM You may be surprised at how much the price of top-quality central air conditioning has come down . . . thanks to tba big volume of Mueller Climt^* trol units in Chicagoland.
