Strong Eye Shields ATEST addition to the Safety Products Ltd. range are Solarama eye shields. Available in either clear or smoked polycarbonate, they are claimed to have excellent optical performance. The strength of these eye shields is evidenced by the fact that they are impact tested by air rifle to 500 ft per sec. with a in. steel ball; this strength is claimed to be retained in sub-zero or high-heat conditions. Wide side arms (also of polycarbonate) give added protection.
Fluorescent Lamp Fitting AFLUORESCENT lamp fitting, the Trans-1'2, claimed to be particularly suitable for interior lighting in goods and passenger vehicles, is now available from 1ndustrolite Ltd. It is a 12 in. 8 W fitting with a built-in on/off switch which gives ia light output of 300 lumens (approximately equivalent to the output of a 30W filament bulb).
Current consumed is said to be very low at only 0.8 A and the Trans-12 will operate from 11 14V d.c. Special designs are available to order.
Stainless Steel Silencers SIGN I IC A NT saving in fuel consumption and greatly improved road performance are advantages claimed when using a new design of silencer made by Stainless Steel Silencers Ltd. The makers state that recent tests of this Multifit silencer on a variety of vehicles have resulted in increased m.p.g. in all cases and that silencers tested in the past year show no signs of deterioration.
Stainless steel construction is said to keep the silencer, suitable for use on car-based .vans, free from weaknesses (such as rust and carbon and oil deposits) which occur in the mild steel type. Power unit efficiency and economy result from the heatresistant qualities of the stainless steel used. This, together with the patented baffle design, gives good gas flow conditions.
Further advantages claimed for the Multifit is that it can easily be transferred from one vehicle to another and that stocks can be carried without difficulty, as, the silencers occupy little storage space. Multifit kits are claimed to be easily assembled and fitted to any type of vehicle suitable for straight-through silencer. New parts can be obtained from the makers on application.
Made by: Stainless Steel Silencers Ltd., Parkhouse Street, Ayr, Scotland.
