So a manufacturer of rail equipment has developed a lightweight rail inspection car that carries four people yet can be taken off the track by one man. Since men who design rail cars, aircraft and other trans­ portation equipment regularly use aluminum to cut down dead weight and increase pay load, it is no surprise that aluminum was used to replace heavier materials in many parts of this inspection car. The person who will be surprised is the loco­ motive engineer who first sees a rail inspector nonchalantly— and single-handedly — hoisting his scooter from the track. ALUMINUM COMPANY OF CANADA, LTD.
