THIS RUBBER CON DUCTS ELECTRICITY it ‘builds up’ to form a spark, when someone touches the tank, which might cause a--terrific explosion. The same hazard is ’present when an aero­ plane is landing but if the itires on the gasoline truck or the tires on the plane werd made of the conductive rubber, this electrical charge would escape harmlessly as the wheel touch­ es the ground. Other uses for ithis conductive rub­ ber are suggesting themselves every day, such as talcing the static electric­ ity out of factory belting,, gasoline hose, automobile engine mountings and all types of buses, trucks and pas­ senger cars. Much work has yet to be- done in this field but the results to date are highly gratifying. Embarrassing “If the children are asleep^, wilt you get out the electric train?” It sounds startling. Any school boy knows, of course, that one. of the most valuable properties of rubber is its el­ ectrical non-conductiviity or’: its ability to "insulate” electrical conductors. Now comes the Dunlop Company and deliberately compounds a rubber that will conduct a certain amount* of electricity. It doesn’t seem to make sense but it’s an actual fact . . . and turns out to be a very valuable safety measure too. Although still in some­ what of an experimental stage, results to date hav(e possessed definite prac­ tical value and point to the complete elimination of a number of hazards which, while the average man on the street ithinks little about- them, are none the less quite serious. Just think back a moment. Do you remember how you used to rub your feet on the carpet — a good insulator — and get a spark from the radiator, which was a good "ground”? Very harmless, of course, but what would happen if there were explosive solids, liquids or gases present? Quite pos­ sibly a terrific explosion, with serious loss of life, property and consequent interruption of vital war effort. Now, if the floor covering had been a con­ ductor of electricity, no explosion could itake place because there would be no spark to cause it. That, then, is one application of conductive rub­ ber. Here is another. Did you ever no­ tice the short chain that bounces -along behind the big gasoline tank trucks?' That is, of course, to "ground1' any static and let it run away before SHOP AT Phone 161 Sr.1(1 1 KUMII61 IM Prompt Delivery CkfTTLI’CSP JL^r Jfc jHL JL Ai A , SP ECONOMY FOOD STORE EVERYTHING FOR CHRISTMAS BAKING SI BLEACHED RAISINS 19c lb.
