Description: Lieutenant Murell Clark, assistant district commander of Michigan State Police, Marquette, center, Sheriff Ted Rogers of Keweenaw County, left, and Trooper Donald S. Arnold of the Calumet post are shown above with the fifth wheel, an instrument used by the state in checking the speedometers of state police motor vehicles. The fifth wheel is the most accurate guage of speed and it enables state troopers to obtain a greater degree of accuracy in checking violators of the speed limit. The Calumet post vehicles were tested Friday in a regular semi-yearly checkup. [The officers pose with a bicycle wheel type of apparatus attached to the back of a patrol car.]
