The slick surface of wet asphalt
roadways has sent many a mo
torist limping to the garage with
flattened fenders and shattered
headlamps. But now research
engineers have come up with
t something that sharply reduces
this accident hazard. When their
special aluminum oxide abrasive
1 is applied to the road surface, it
cuts down by more than 30%
the stopping distance of your car
t when you apply the brakes at
30 m.p.h.
... So in addition to saving
weight and work in a thousand
everyday and special applica
tions, aluminum may prove a
major factor in saving lives, too.
