CURVED WINDSCREEN.
A windscreen lias been produced by a British inventor which is claimed to be proof against the troubles associated with reflections from street lamps and other lights. The screen a curved glass carried in the usual type of metal frame, and there is in addition a shallow shelf of protection covered in black velvet at the base of the screen. The shape of the screen naturally lends itself well to the modern streamlined designs, for the curvature of the glass can run into the sweep of the peakless front to give an unbroken line. Owing to the black shelf at the base of the screen there are no reflections in the glass of the light from instruments, while interior roof or quarter-lights also do not cause reflections in the glass. This is easy to understand when it is remembered that a ray of light striking a bright object is reflected from the object at the same angle at which it strikes it.
