safety features for pollee work as well as reducing the
length of travel necessary to apprehend speeders. Both
the 85 H.P. and 95 H.P. are sleeve engines which increase
the life of this motor as well as being more economical.

show some of the fine work this type of unit is doing.

they rate considerably higher than enclosed chart will
show.
