COOLS FAST TO CONTROL PRE-IGNITION! ‘The unique AC Hot Tip Spark Plug insulator is deeply recessed to meet the demands of today’s varying driving conditions: stop-and-go city traffic and high-speed highway cruising! The AC Hot Tip heats fast to burn away oil, carbon and other deposits as soon as they form. These fouling deposits are the cause of misfiting, loss of power and poor performance in high-compression engines. The AC Hot Tip cools fast to con- trol the pre-ignition of high-octane gasolines. Knocking, ping- ing and rough engine performance are the results of harmful pre-ignition. Ask your AC dealer to check your spark plugs to If he recommends new ones, you'll find that AC Hot Tip Spark Plugs are best for today’s high-compression engines and high- octane gasolines!

You “point” it where you want it to go and it goes there—with superlative ease and precision. The secret is Ball-Race steering, in which 54 micro-polished steel balls pro- vide rolling friction instead of the usual sliding friction. The “drag” of friction is reduced to the lowest point we can get it. And, in addition, the weight on the front wheels is lightened by moving the center of balance farther back. The result is exceptionally light-handed steering—manual steering that comes awfully close to the ease of power steer- ing. Better still, the improved weight distribution gives Chevrolet better rear wheel traction and better roadability. Our ideal at Chevrolet is to produce the best road car the world has ever seen— and Ball-Race steering is a big factor. Your Chevrolet dealer will be glad to arrange a demonstration so you can sample it for yourself—a preview of the additional pleasure Chevrolet can give you during every mile you drive... .

Then, at twenty miles per hour speed, hit the brakes fast and hard. If your car doesn’t stop within twenty feet, or it pulls to one side, or only one tire mokes scuff mark, your brakes need expert attention. If you have to pump the brake pedal, probably the hydraulic Avid level is low, or air is in the system. For safety’s sake, don't delay any brake work found necessary. Treat yourelf—and your car— to Morfak chassis lubrication. Tiger-tough Marfak protects vital chassis points of wear and fric- tion... won't jar out, shake out or splash out... keeps giving you that cushiony feeling for 1,000 miles or more.

I am wondering if I could obtain per- mission to use the material in this article in making certain off-the-cuff speeches in my home state. 1 frequently have invitations to speak unexpectedly in communities which have expressed a desire for the establishment of a gigantic atomic-energy project.

Not only is the photography good, but you are to be commended on your safety fea- tures. I look forward to your continuing this as a feature of your subsequent issues. Dr. Robert C. Bailie, Waynesboro, Ga. To the Editor: In the newspepers lately there have been stories about runaway trucks down hills and mountains because of no brakes. I have an idea that may not seem too silly in this auto-minded world of today. Here it is: You are starting down a mountainside and when you put your foot on the brake pedal, it goes to the floor. No brakes! You're moving too fast to use the emer- gency brake for fear the trailer truck will jacklenife. You pull a lever that has a cable running under ‘he truck to the rear of the trailer to a metal box 12 inches deep and 3 by 3 feet square. The cable pulls a latch out and two doors swing open like bomb bays on an airplane. After doors are open, a huge parachute falls behind and opens. ‘The truck slows down rapidly. Then you use the emergency brake to bring the truck under control. From the time you discover you have no brakes till the time the chute opens it would take less than 30 seconds. ‘They use parachutes to slow down huge airplanes that come in for fast landings and they weigh much more than a loaded trailer truck. Parachute, box, cable, etc., would amount to about $100. Consider a trailer truck hauling a pay load of $5000 to $10,000 over mountains two or three times a week, it would be worth the extra safety device. C. L. Blundell, Jr., 1109 S.

The first step is to have a search made of the prior pertinent U. S. patents, If a report on this search indicates that the invention appears patentable you can apply for a patent, and the specifications and claims should be prepared. The firm of McMorrow, Berman & Davidson, with offices in Wash? ington, D. C., is qualified to take the necessary steps for you. We can make a preliminary search on your invention, advise you whether we think it can be patented, and prepare your application for patent. Unless you are fully familiar with the U. S. Patent Laws, we recom- mend that you engage the services of a Registered Patent Attorney to protect your interests. The patent laws are your laws. A patent gives you the right to prevent others from making, using or selling the invention claimed in your patent for a period of 17 years. Use these patent laws for your protection. Investigate whether your invention can be patented. If you have what you believe to be an in: vention, we suggest that you have this firm make a search for you: Send for a copy of our Patent Booklet entitled “How To Protect Your Invention," containing in- formation about patent protection and patent procedure. Along with this we will also send you an “Invention Record” form, for your use in writing down and sketching details of your in- vention. We will mail them promptly. No obli- éation. They are yours for the asking. McMORROW, BERMAN & DAVIDSON Registered Patent Attorneys PATENTS . COPYRIGHTS .

The bare facts about this invention are so fantastic that they sound like wild exaggerations. Yet every statement is true—as you will see when you read my letter. Preliminary sales work shows fortunes will be made by the salesmen who have the vision to see the tremendous. po! s in the swelling National surge toward "better seeing.” Read with care. If may be another decade before you have another oppor- tunity as important as this. Stuart G. Nelson, President SUNRAY PRODUCTS CORP. To enable you to understund this opportunity I gall have te ull you the diferance bemtoms “lighe- ing” and “illumination.” Lighting is the source of light—illumination ie the useful result of light- ing. You install lighting to provide illumination. Different human activities require different kinds of illumination. And the illumination varies in wo ways: (1) The amount of light delivered, and (2) The coler or character of the light delivered. Until recently all of man’s inventive genius was aimed at producing more fight from a given amount of electricity. The seatch for more light culminated in the development of the Fluorescent lamp. Per watt of current used it gave a higher level of light than any incandescent lamp—about two-and-a-half times as much. It gave a whiter, stronger, more brilliant light. The nation’s storekeep- ers, offices, and manufacturing plants switched to Fluorescent with breathtak- ing speed. But then came a shock. A backlash Fluorescent lamps are affecting the eyes of the people wh work under them. Eye strain has sen toan all time high level. Nervous disorders are on the increase. The efficiency of employees is show- ing a serious drop-off due to tensions caused by eye strain, The cause? GLARE! Glare is reflected light enter- ing the eye at an angle different from the angle at which the eye is focused. Fixture manufacturers 24 have adopted scores of louvers for their fixtures in an attempt to cut down glare. Buc these louvers cut down the amount of light delivered to the working area—particularly as they become crusted with dust. And, in spite of partial reduction, glare continued. until— Sometimes—more often than not—inventors and engineers who know the subject best, get so com- plicated in their thinking that they overlook the simplethings. And mostgreatinventionsaresimple. A simple invention ‘The new SUNRAY lamp is such an invention. It is $9 simple that when you see it, you will wonder why the engineers hadn't thought of it years ago. Yet it is so radically different that patents have been granted on the methods for making it. The claims made are so fantastic that no amount of talk by the most convincing salesman could make a prospect believe. -Yet one’simple Three-Minute Demon- stration — with Four Lighted Tubes give such dramatic proof to the prospect's own eyes that he knows every claim is true — he knows that he MUST have SUNRAY LAMPS for his store, office or factory. Throw the switches— write the order: In our demonstration case there are four Fluores- POPULAR MECHANICSWEEKLY CHECKS DEMONSTRATING FOR FACTORIES, STORES AND OFFICES cent lamps and four switches. Snap the first switch and you have the light froma suriderd Huoresceut lamp shining down on a printed sheet of paper. The eye is repelled by glare, You snap the second switch, The SUNRAY lamp lights up. The con- trast is almost as night from day. From one paper the glare still slams into the eye. From the other side, no glare. Just a soft, restful, but adequate illumination. ‘The effect on the prospect is as instantaneous as the demonstration. He needs no "'selling” for he has seen what ten thousand words would noc have made him believe. The order is ready to write. But wait. One more surprise! SUNRAY made a second discovery. It relates to COLOR, Lights of different colors create startling differences in the way different things appear to the eye. Under standard fluorescent lamps food, faces, clothing, furniture and painted surfaces look Unnatural. The colors are not true. Color distortion is often so reat that the merchandise displayed looks uninviting. There is no one fluorescent lamp that will make all colors eppear as they do in daylight—not even the lamp that is called a Daylight lamp. But SUNRAY engineers found the secret of COMBINING lamps of different tints to give the exact illumination chat is best for each type of business. In different com- binations, they can be made to improve the ap- pentance of any product—whether it be a steak. a head of lettuce, a fine cabinet, a suit, pair of shoes, a woman's hat or dress, or an automobile, An instant success And the next two SUNRAY lamps in your demon- stration case permit you to show this difference so dramatically that the prospect starts selling you. This is not guesswork on my part. I'm not tathing about what ] hope will be the case. For the last four years we made selling tests in scattered territories. ‘We were optimistic. We had great hopes. But the actual sales records made our wildest hopes seem pale. One of our men in a Mid-West state has made an average of more than $200.00 a week from the first week, he started three years ago. He has made as much as $480.00 in one week. And, right now, he is getting re- peat orders from 75% of his original customers—three out of four. His repeat- order business alone would keep him living like a king the rest of his lite. The story is the same with thirty other men. Stead- SEPTEMBER 1956 ily adding customers.
