EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1970s, we witness an intriguing device designed to aid drivers during nighttime travels. Known as the Cats-Eye reflector, this innovative gadget was instrumental in enhancing road safety and visibility for motorists. The Cats-Eye reflector, not to be confused with the company of the same name, was a simple yet effective solution to the challenges posed by dark roads. The Cats-Eye reflector, named for its distinctive shape, was a series of reflective glass beads encased in a transparent, cat's-eye shaped casing. When a vehicle's headlights hit the reflector, the beads would reflect the light back, creating a bright, continuous band of light on the road surface. This effect, often referred to as a "cats-eye" or "cat's eye" reflection, would guide drivers along the road, making it easier for them to navigate through dark and dimly lit areas. This photograph, taken in the 1970s, captures the essence of the Cats-Eye reflector's design and its potential to make a significant difference in the driving experience. Alan Greeley, the man in the image, is seen carefully installing the reflector on the roadside, ensuring that it is properly aligned and secure. The photograph not only showcases the Cats-Eye reflector's functionality but also highlights the dedication of individuals involved in improving road safety during this era. This image serves as a fascinating reminder of the technological advancements that have shaped our driving experience and the continuous efforts to make our roads safer for all.
