New Radar Equipment In Use - Ann Arbor Patrolman Charles Fleming operates the Police Department's new tripod radar system which is now in use against speeders in various sections of the city. The dial which tells the speed of a car and the "eye" which transmits that speed are mounted on a surveyor's tripod. The system powered by a 12-volt battery seen in the case on the ground. The officer manning the machine signals another patrolman in a nearby scout car when a speeder is detected and the second officer makes the stop. A car 1,800 feet away can be picked up by the sensitive radar machine.

Block Check: Lt. H. G. Schlupe, head of the Ann Arbor Police Department Traffic Bureau, checks the string of plastic blocks which have been laid for a crosswalk at Ann and Main Sts. The two round discs visible near the blocks are metal pieces which were used in former years to mark the cross-walk. Summer heat and heavy traffic have shifted these two discs some distance from their original line.
