REE new electric hand tools have I been added to the industrial range of S. N. Bridges and Co., Ltd., York Road. Battersea, S.W.11. The range, which includes both electric and pneumatic drills and special-purpose tools, will be known from now on as Powerline. Two of the new tools are drills, the third is a portable circular saw; all are fitted with the Bridges Neonic safety eye.
The power saw, IS/GA. has a 71-in.dia. blade, which gives a vertical depth of cut of up to 211 in.. or with a 45° bevel, a maximum cut of 2A in. The fence is calibrated up to 9 in. Motor and gearing are protected by a torque clutch on the blade spindle and the cartridge motor is double insulated. Total weight of the saw is 131 lb. and the universal motor is rated at 1,100 watts, The 03/CiA saw costs £29.
Automattc overload cut-out is incorporated in the power saw and also in the new 77 series j-in. Neonic drill. The
other new drill is the 1-in. Heavy-Duty Neonic drill. Both are available with either a centre-grip or saw-grip handle and the two versions are designated DRTC and DRVC.
Spindle speeds of the new models are 2.350 and 2,000 r.p.m. respectively, and both have Jacobs chucks taking A-in. drills, although drilling capacities for steel are-given as Fin. dia. Prices of the drills are £19 and £17 10s. respectively.
Windscreen Fitting EQUIPMENT to simplify the fitting of windscreen glasses mounted in rubber mouldings has been developed by H. A. Frow and Sons, Hill Top Garage, Barnetby, Lincs.
This consists of a number of metal clips which are fitted on to both flanges of the rubber moulding after it has been stretched round the glass. Rods are then fitted into the clips and levered over to bring the flange of the rubber at right angles to the glass. When this has been done the rods lie almost on the glass and those at opposite sides are joined together by pieces of small chain to keep them in this position.
Clips are fitted close together all the way round the moulding flange and when the procedure described has been completed with all of them. the flange is held in such a position that it will fit easily into the windscreen aperture in the body. The clips can be used on both moulding flanges if necessary.
Touring Commentaries AMULT1-LANGUAGE announcer which has been deAelopect by James Scott and Co. (Electricity Service Centres), Ltd., Morrison Street. Edinburgh. gives multi-language commentaries, and will have applications for coaching and touring intineraries. The unit is called the Allscott Announcer and is a compact box. giving up to eight language alternatives of the same pre-recorded commentary. It is suitable for remote control so that it can be operated by the driver on a coaching run, to give a commentary on the points visited in selected languages.
Simultaneous transmissions in several languages can also be given, using smaller hand speakers as an alternative to a large single unit.
Operation is simple; the dial lists the languages and the listener simply switches to the required language.
