Sam Colt Created
Gunslinger Role
ledge proved enough to startSam
on his blueprint.
When it came to putting his
"Bang, bang. Your're dead!"
Back in those deadly "shootem-up" days when the gunslinger
was king, boys handled pisto!s
as if they were toys, Like the
baseball bat today, the gun, sign,
ified the maturing of youth,
Wanting his son to "act like a
man,"! the father of old days handed gun and belt to the little tyke,
telling him "learn to use it."
Then in 1836 along came Sam
Colt. Up until then, youth had
fooled around with single shot
models, the only guns in use at
that time, dangerous enough in
the hands of amateurs,
Colt's vision took the form of
a gun that would be less cumbersome, kill faster. Since he
loved a good fight, Sam went
about trying to even up the sides,
How he did this was simple.
He experimented, Finally the action of a ship's wheel suggested
’ the mechanism, the type of gun
he was after, A repeating cylinder ‘pistol! Historically, two
models of a cylinder gun were
already invented, but one required two hands to trigger it,
the other two men,
When spun, the ship's wheel
never fails to come directly in
line with a clutch that can be
set to hold it. This bit of knowblueprint into hardware, Sam Colt
found no easy task. First carving a wooden model, he then hired
a machinist to build a working
one. Seeing the second model
completed an excited Sam tested
it, only to have it explode in his
face,
Finally in 1836 Colt received a
patent on his fifteen-and-a-halfinch Patterson model, a model
able to fire five .31 caliber bullets, to hide the trigger until
the hammer was cocked,
Inventing the gun wasn't even
half the battle. And Sam knew
it too. He must convince a
disbelieving world that it would
work, Try hard he did, but to
no avail, Congress, the Army,
and the Navy all turned his quickfire pistol down, Ready to give
up, Sam Colt suddenly found his
luck change,
Storming into Washington,
enough rowdy representatives
from the Texas Rangers protested in favor of the Colt gun
to cast many doubts aside, Having worn the Colt in a welloiled holster on several occa‘sions, the Rafhgers praised the
gun for carrying a lot of "pull."

Cramp Wheels
When Parking
Every month in San Francisco
an. average of 50 vehicles runaway after being improperly
parked on the city's hilly terrain, Innocent people have been
killed, other injured and considerable property damage has
resulted from careless parking
on grades,
The San Francisco Traffic
Code specifically spélls out that
vehicles parked on any grade
or slope exceeding three per
cent shall have the wheels blocked against the curb, says the
California State Automobile Association,
In all cases of parking on
grades, keep the wheels close
to the curb,
On downgrades, cramp the
front wheels sharply toward the
curb when you park, Stop when
the right front wheel is just
touching against the curb, On
upgrades where there is a curb,
cramp the fron wheels sharply
away from the curb, On a grade
without a curb, cramp front
wheels. toward the road-edge,
With these precautions, the car
will not roll out into traffic,
should anything cause it to move,
Leave a parked gearshift car
in reverse gear, the lowest gear
ratio, and apply the parking brake
hard, Leave an automatic transmission car with the selector in
the ‘'P' position and apply the
parking brake,
