N. Y. Will Equip Po-”~
lice Cars With Radios
New York.—Patrol automobiles of
the police department within three
months, are to be equipped with radio
phone-apparatus, for the reception r.cd
transmission of wireless messages from
and to police headquarters.
While amateurs have discovered
that ordinary crystal or vacuum tube
radiophone sets, with loop antennae,
work as efficiently on an automobile as
in a building, the police department
needs special apparatus, winch the
Radio Corporation of America is con
structing in conjunction with the West
inghouse people.
The special experiment being con
ducted for the police department has
to do with the provision of a broad
casting station that will keep in touch
with all police automobiles at every
second of the day and night.
The broadcasting station is to have a
wave length that will permit of no in
terference by amateurs or high-power
broadcasting stations.
Instead of having long-drawn-out joy
rides the flivver gensdarmerie is likely j
to'hear little more than: “Car No. j
115—Get off Broadway and over to i
240th street, where there is some kind j
of a riot. Report in three minutes.”
