EVALUATION OF A NEW AUTOMOTIVE PLANE AND CONVEX MIRROR SYSTEM BY GOVERNMENT DRIVERS
An on-the-road study was made of new mirror system consisting of larger inside and left side plane mirrors and a convex mirror on the right fender. An analysis of the questionnaires completed by the drivers show that in general drivers reacted favorably to this experimental convex mirror system. Comparisons are made with the results of earlier field tests conducted with a periscopic device and with two different experimental convex mirror systems. /GMRL/
