AUTO ROW PICK-UPS BEATING THE SHORT CIRCUITS new type of "electrical safety valve," which eliminates the neces slty of carrying spare fuses and guards the edectrlcal system from Injury due to short circuits, Is bow standard equipment on Studebaker cars, according to E. S. Gahagen, local Studebakcr-Erskine dealer. "The annoyance caused by burned fuses has been entirely eliminated the result of this new device," he said. "Eliminating technical lan' guage, the 'safety valve' consists Sim of a buzzer mounted on the back the instrument board.

When a short circuit occurs in the wiring system the driver hears the sound of buzzer and knows something has gone wrong. 'The buzzer goes Into action as soon as the current builds up to 18 amperes, then prevents more than 12 amperes from passing through the wiring system. With the old system of fuses to protect the wiring system, a short clrcuitt that blew a fuse would perhaps disable the headlights or some other part of the electrical system. If the driver had spare fuses, the buriysd-out fuse could be jeplaced without trouble. Comparatively few drivers, however, carried extra fuses.

But with this buzzer device no fuses are necessary, and the driver can continue to operate his car. without suffering the loss of road Illumina tion if driving at night or stopping to replace a fuse. The buzzer la extremely simple in operation and needs no adjustment or care. Most Studebaker owners win never know It Is in the car, for all the wiring on Stuedbaker cars is carried in metal conduits and thorough ly protected by heavy waterproof insulation wherever exposed."
