Show Seems Like a Good Idea Bringing to the minds of Moab people peo pea people pIe a very thought provoking subject this week was Mr G. G L. L Wilkes a representative enta- enta tive of the o Keehn-o Manufacturing company company company com com- pany of Santa SantaRosa Rosa California makers of an emergency braking system for large trucks which through the thE- use of a compressed compressed com come pressed air bottle is said to be able to bring bring to t a R ass stop these large hauling units when other systems fail While we are not concerned conce with trying trying trying try try- ing to sell a certain product in these columns columns columns col col- col- col the appearance of such a system seems to be worth mentioning from a safety standpoint alone Moab is a unique case It is approached approach approach- ed from both north and south by long hill down grades which make braking fa- fa facilities facilities fa fa- on all types of vehicles important Most important factor however is that there is probably more heavy trucking through the main district of Moab than through any other town of size in the west While the possibility of ot a runaway run truck through town is possibly possibly possibly pos pos- sibly remote we can agree that it would only ony have to happen once to be ho a very serious problem The cost of the o Keehn-o unit see to b be 00 small We Ve would like to lend our endorsement to that of public safety officials in Moab who are of the opinion that this type unit would greatly reduce the possibility of trucking acct acci- dents denta due to brake brak failure allure |
