WILL the latest wage award to engineers send up vehicle prices? Manufacturers to whom this question was put by The Commercial Motor this week were non-committal in their replies, beyond saying that higher wages must increase the prices of products unless the cost could be absorbed by A revision of methods or a, greater margin of earnings resulting from higher output.
Many companies, however, already pay wages above the basic minimum, to which the I Is, is additional, and their labour costs will not be affected -at least until their workers press for an increase in the differential between their remuneration and the miniinum union rates.
PLASTIC METAL IS ADHESIVE
ADHESIVE properties are contained in Hermetal, a cold-setting plastic metal amalgam made by the Kenilworth Manufacturing Co.. Ltd., West Drayton, Middx. This has been revealed by tests at the National Physical Laboratory.
The material is primarily for use as a filler and can be applied to iron, steel. wood, glass and all non-ferrous metals. It sets as hard as lead and does not shrink.
In the tests, two lengths of metal strip were joined by Hermetal to glass-fibre cloth. Under stress, the cloth broke leaving the plastic bond unimpaired.
SHEET SIX TIMES STRONGER
AMERMAN hauliers are now using a new tarpaulin material known as Fairprene, A Du Pont product, it is basically nylon fabric to which a neoprene coating adheres on both sides. Light in weight and non-absorbent. Fairprene is said to have six times the tear strength of canvas. Should it be torn, it can be patched like an inner tube.
