Mirrors Make Farm Driving Safer

Mirrors Make Farm Driving Safer MISCELLANEOUS EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 15-5-7 Two blind corners on the lane running through his farm prompted Illinois fanner Harry Schirding, Petersburg, Ill., to mount convex mirrors on posts that let him see around corners. Schirding says he worried about cars or pickups running into slow-moving tractors and combines. "The convex mirrors have solved the problem. Lets us see clearly if anything is coming," he says. The 30-in. dia. mirrors are made of plexiglass and cost $124.50 each from a company in Peoria, Ill. They're available in various sizes.
