129 More Comfort ••• Same Protection We've heard your arguments: " Body Armor is heavy," "It's hot," "It's stiff," "It's bulky." Now hear ours: New KEVLARo129 is a major break­ through in body armor comfort. Vests can now be made 15 to 25 % thinner and 10 to 20% lighter. KEVLARo129 is also softer and more flexible, allowing body armor to bend and twist more freely. It moves with you. What's more, there is NO loss in ballistic protection. KEVLARo129 is 15 % stronger than KEVLARo29-a 65 ,000 p .s.i. increase in tensile strength. This means that a lighter, thinner vest of KEVLARo129 can offer the same level of protection as its heavier, bulkier KEVLARo29 predeces­ sor. The big difference is that you stay comfortable. We both know that body armor can save lives. We think it's worth a little argument to save yours. New KEVLARo129 is available right now. To get more informa­ tion about this major break- through in body armor comfort, call Du Pont at: 416-821-5601. New KEVLARo129 ... Today's most ad­ vanced technology for personal body armor.

Chubb Security Systems, working in close co-operation with Marathon Realty, has developed a security system for the safety of tenants and visitors who use underground park­ ing facilities . The rapid development of computer-base security systems and wireless communications technology has now provided the means for much improved safety in the parking environment, while at the same time acting as a strong deterrent to criminal activity. The Chubb system provides tenants with a compact wireless transmitter, small enough to fit on a key chain. In addition, easy to access push button transmitters are located strategically on pillars throughout the garage. The system is computer controlled so that an activated transmitter triggers the operation of sirens throughout the garage as well as a strobe light in the immediate area concerned. A remote signal to an on­ response, with the activated strobe premises station ensures rapid guard light acting as a homing device so the guard can quickly locate the area and provide appropriate assistance regardless of the nature of the emergency. Bob Swanton, systems sales manager for Chubb comments the Chubb system "places the prime em­ phasis on crime prevention and quick response to medical or crime-related emergencies." David Lean, co-ordinator, Building Technology for Marathon's Buildings Group, says, "Marathon is committed to offering its tenants the greatest security possible. That's why we've been taking a proactive role working with Chubb over the last eight months to develop this new security system." For further information of the system or its applications contact either Bob Swanton at Chubb Security Systems (416) 620-3446 or Liz Murray at Marathon Realty (416) 864-1960. Fax (416) 629-9468.

Most motorcycle manufacturers put their engineering skill to work getting you going. At BMW we put our best minds to work getting you stopped. Safely. Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) have been used for years on aircraft and high performance cars. Now, BMW has integrated this state of the art technology into our motorcycles, including the K1 DOLT Police model. HOW IT WORKS The ABS system uses an on board computer to monitor front and rear wheel brakes. When ABS senses the brakes are about to lock, it reduces pressure in the wheel brake cylinder up to 7 times a second, and continues to do so until the risk of lock-up has been eliminated.

The SMW K100LT: The police motorcycle incorporates the ASS system designed to give the officer more control in any road conditions, from dry pavement to rain, sleet, sand or oil patches.
