ROAD MAGNET BOON
These should be punctureless days for the Missouri motorist. His autumn, driving should be full of serenity Why? The state, reports the American · Public Works Association, has purchased a “road magnet” on wheels, whose sole 'duty it is to scour the high- ways, picking up nails, bolts, and other bits of metal lying in wait for unsuspecting automobile tires.
The device picks up, on an average, four and one-hair pounds of iron a mile. It consists of three powerful electric magnets sus- pended from the chassis of a two- ton truck.
