EDITORS COMMENTS
April 13, 1935: Gongsters on Parade - Police Cars Awaiting Speedometer Tests This intriguing photograph captures a scene of meticulous precision and adherence to the law, as police traffic patrol cars line up to have their speedometers tested against a stopwatch. The importance of ensuring that law enforcement vehicles adhered to the speed limit was a matter of great significance in the 1930s, as speedometers were primitive and inaccurate compared to today's advanced technology. The image, taken on April 13, 1935, shows a row of police cars, their engines idling, as officers wait their turn to have their speedometers inspected. The cars, with their distinctive designs and bold lettering, exude an air of authority and importance. In the background, a man with a stopwatch and a serious expression stands ready to test each speedometer, ensuring that they all register no more than 30 miles per hour. The scene is reminiscent of a parade, with the cars arranged in neat rows and the officers maintaining a sense of order and discipline. The historical significance of this photograph lies in the contrast between the modern technology of the stopwatch and the outdated and inaccurate speedometers of the time. It also highlights the importance of accountability and transparency in law enforcement, as the police were held to the same speed limit as the general public. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time to an era when technology was less advanced, but the commitment to upholding the law was just as strong. Today, we take for granted the accuracy and reliability of our speedometers, but this photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of regular testing and maintenance to ensure the safety and efficiency of our transportation systems.
