INGENIOUS DEVICE
An ingenious device for signalling turning intentions when driving 'a motor car at night was demonstrated by Mr. J. H. Collett, of Invercargill, to the members of the general committee of the Southland Motor Association. Mr. Collett's invention eonsists of red lights fitted to both headlights of ths car, with a special red light affixed at the rear of the car. Before turning to right or left, the driver operates a switch which extinguishes th'e headlight on the side to which the driver intends to turn and lights the red bulb in that lamp. When the driyer proposes to turn to the yight the special red light at the rear of the car is switched on. Sever^l member expressed approval of th'e invention, and it was decided to demonstrate the device at the quarterly meeting of the South Island Motor Union at Waimate next week.
