Too Many Motorists
Disregard Law
Covering Focus of
Lamps On Autos.
TO TAG VIOLATORS
V ”e h i c l e Department
, Explains How Proper
Made By Owners.
A campaign to correct the common
and illegal practice of operating an-
mmnblles with defective or improper
headlishts has been started by the
state police. From early evening un-
til late each night. until further no-
or improperly focused headlights.
This campaign was found nccces-
only because of the absolute failure
of our owners and drivers to remedy
headlight defects. unless ordered to
do so. It is a common practice for
motorists to complain of the [flare
brought about by incorrect focus on
lights of other auto». while neglect~
ing to extimina their own cars.
The corrchlon system in effect is
an oxpllllslon of the tag system, in-
augurated lust. August. which has
successfully served to bring about
wholesale changes in cars with do-
fcciive equipment. {Between 2.500
and 3.000 of these irgs have been
given to motorims by state policemen.
each containing an order to have the
defective equipment repaired. In no
instance has the order been disobey-
rd. all repairs ordered having been
made and the tag returned to head~
quarters stamped by notaries who
have ci'i‘lifiod to the sworn statement
of owners that the defects have been
rrmedied.
The department has no disposition
to make xii-rests because of operation
of cars with minor defects. However.
inionllonal. continued neglect of
equipment is not countenanced. in
such cases the tag system is not used.
the process being simply to arrest the
Cir owner.
The department for some time
tried the experiment of making the
headlight repairs or corrections at
the barracks about the state. This
proved impractical mainly because of
the rush of pntronnge.
The following simple method of
adjusting lioadllghis is given in a me-
tcr vehicle. dcpai‘ililelil bulletin:
"Place your car on a level space
facing a wall or screen. the car
lamps being twenty-five..feet mom
the wall. .liisrk a horizontal linelon
the wall. which line shall be kept the
some height from the gre ed as the
centers of thalamus on th car. With
lights on both lenses installed, cover
one lamp to 'shut oif'the llaht and
move the screw or device in the other
lamp. which regulates the position
of the bulb. until the narrowest/herb
rental beam of light on the wall is
obtained. Perform the some opera-
tion with the other lump.
“Having focused the lamps, tilt or
bend ouch lamp until llli‘. top of the
beam is no higher than the mark on
the wall, lacing euro that the car ls
fully loaded iii the time. The wall
will then be illuminated below and
up to the lamp level line. which is
the result desired. If the light
spreads above the lamp level line. it
proves that the lamps are not proper-
ly focused."
