Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The first radio-equipped vehicle used by Scotland Yard, the British metropolitan London police force, in 1924. It had an early vacuum tube radio transmitter and receiver with a radio operator in the back, so it could keep in touch with headquarters at crime scenes. The wire T aerial on top could be folded down so it could pass under low bridges. |
