Clear Vision Shield An independent adjustable glass panel or shield forpreserving a clear line of vision through the motormanswindow during bad weather has been developed by theClear Vision Shield Company, Pittsburgh, Pa. Theshield, shown in the accompanying illustration, ishinged at its upper edge and mounted independentlyin front of the motormans window. When in an in-clined position it prevents the driving of snow and rainagainst the motormans window and may be so adjustedso that the line of vision of the motorman, while belowits lower edge, is within the zone protected by the in-clined shield from both snow and rain.
