ROAD WORKS SIGNALS AGREED
ANEW agreement concerning signs and signals for road works has been accepted by the seven countries party to the European Agreement of September 16, 1950-Austria, Belgium, France, Greece, Holland, Luxembourg and Yugoslavia. It is hoped that countries not parties to the 1950 Agreement will apply the new standard indications of the limits of road works.
It has been decided to use barriers with red-and-white stripes to mark road works, with red or amber lamps or reflectors. Lamps will show a continuous light.
LIGHT-ALLOY HOSE COUPLINGS
ARANGE of light-alloy hose couplings has been produced by the . Compoflex Co., Ltd., 26 Grosvenor Gardens, London, S.W.1. The new products are being tested by various oil and chemical companies.
Handling properties of Compoflex Featherweight hose, claimed to be the lightest full-bore hose in the world. have been found to be somewhat offset by the continued use of heavy brass couplings. A brass 21-in. female tailpiece with loose nut weighs about 3 lb. A similar aluminium component weighs only some 13 oz.
