"Street Sweeper" was originally a brand/model name for a shotgun made by the
South African corporation, ARMSCOR, and was essentially a twelve shot
revolver chambered for shotgun ammunition..

STREET SWEEPER

   From the NEW YORK SUN, 2 March 2004, letters, pg. 9, col. 4:

   With regard to Errol Louis's column on cab-driver safety, there has not
been a rash of livery muggings ("The Outer-Borough Taxi Crisis," Opinion,
February 17, 2004).
   The incidents that Mr. Louis described were all perpetrated against
drivers who were doing street hails, or as we refer to them, "street
sweepers."  The
drivers who strictly adhere to the law and perform only radio-dispatched
calls are never the target of these incidents.
