Police Cyclist Is Radio Controlled

Sub-Inspector Roy Monaghan, of the Royal Papua-New Guinea Con stabulary, in Rabaul in August operates the first two-way radio to be fitted to a police motor cycle in the Territory. Other police cycles are likely to be fitted if this set is successful. Six cars are al ready fitted with two-way radio in Rabaul. The transmitter on the cycle replaces one of the saddle bags, and a loud-speaker is also attached to the crash bar so the cyclist can be called up while on the move. He pulls out the hand telephone to reply. Sub-Inspector Monaghan is on traffic duty in Rabaul.
