Anti-Theft Device For Cars
A new anti-theft device, recently produced at Bath, Somerset, England, is so designed that the carowner cannot forget to set it, as it automatically comes into operation as soon as the ignition has been switched off. The device consists of a telephone-type relay wired up to the coil, the contact breaker and the horn.
If an unauthorised person attempts to start the car he will set the horn working as soon as he switches on the ignition. Breaking the horn wiring circuit will not put the device out of action and even if a wire is connected direct from the battery to the coil the car still cannot be started. f . All that the rightful owner has to do is to press a concealed switch that trips the relay and allows the car to be started in the normal way.
