Many as these declivities are on tife state roads of Connecticut, where the roadway rounds the side of a hill or mountain, they amount to but little in comparison with the number of sim- ilar (‘m\lllllnn* found in s es where more hilly or mountainous surround- ings prevail, Connected with the West Haven police and being further, a mechanic ol tried ability, John A, Lawson, of West Haven, is well versed in both the source of accidents of this nature and the best mcthods to combat them, To a Dangers To Drivers All automobilists are familiar with the long lines of white-painted picket fences which line the highways throughout this and other states, and while the paint as a general rule, well kept in this state, shows up well at night and affords a r warning, yet in foggy weather or at dawn or twilight, such fences are of little if any use, and' Mr. Lawson's invention affords not only the warning offered by the fence, if seen, but also—which {s far more ecssential — affords the greatest possible protection to drivers of cars who come suddenly on a curve in the road with a deep fall on the outside of the curve. In these days when heavily built state roads skirt the edges of hills and mountains, and cross valleys, in order to keep a maxi- mum of level going, many a mile of roadway with a death trap on one side or the other is negotiated daily by those whose business keeps them on the road sometimes for hours to- gether, The Lawson idea is to-erect on such| sections of the roadway as calls for it, a steel fence some ‘five feet in height and held in position by braces attached to anchors buried deep un- der the roadway, the whole calculated to stand the pressure of several tons and affording ample protection for any car which might inadvertently overlook a sudden bend in the road with an embankment on the side, or which might suddenly suffer an af. fection of the steering gear, or which niight find itself suddenly threatened with a fall as the result of a collision. Iteports of automobile accidents_the country over are full of fatalities arising from just these conditions where roadways are unprotected. It is impossible to go through the “Road Guard,” and about the worst which could happen to a machine whose driver overlooked the condi- tions described, would be a little possible damage to front fenders and lamps. To Confer With Bennett lLawson cnce with Highway Charles L. Bennett, with a view to the adoption of the device on the highways of Connecticut and he is al- so in communication with the Beth- lehem Steel company and similar -cor- porations having in mind arrange- roents for the manufacture - of the “Road Guard” on a large scale, A very careful scarch throughout the patent department in Washington, during a recent visit by Mr. Lawson accompanied by his attorneys, proved that there has been no such device brought before the department by any other inventor, proving that the ldea is unique. While in Washington, the. visitor visited Congressman John Q. Tilson, of Connecticut, who expresscd himself as favorably impressed with the proposed road protection. No Braces Needed A feature of the arrangement lies in the fact that the device, when erected, presents nothing but a smooth steel front to the automobile, no braces are on the inside of the steel fence, all braces being on the outside and attached to buried an- chor pieces, deeply imbedded. Not only on sections of the road- way as described will the device be of great safety value, but it is pro- posed to erect such steel fences, with an outward curve at the approach to small bridges over crecks and minor streams, so that the oncoming car may be actually “stebred” into the safe corfines of the road, when such an obstacle is arrived at suddenly at a high rate of speed on an unknown road. Mr. Lawson has taken every neces sary preeaution to protect his inven- tion and the usual patent papers are pending. In the meantime he is us- ing every. effort to develop the almost unlimited field which the entire coun- try offers for the device. Former Local Man Mr. Lawson formerly lived in this city and at one time was prominently identified in athletic circles, having Leen a baseball catcher of ability. e formeriy played with the New Drit ain team and also on the New Haven, Eastern league ball team.
