Magnesium is the latest metal to be brought into commercial use. In various alloy forms it is being extensively employed" when a re- duction of weight is sought by air- craft and automobile machine and, engineering concerns. A group of unwrought and partly wrought' magnesium alloys 40 per cent. lighter than aluminium la, sold: under the registered trade name of elektron. The special technique for its production has been built on supplies of the metal from Germany, as, until lately, the total consumption in this country did | not, warrant the large capital ex- penditure required for production in this country.

preparatory building and installa- tion. The process is that of fusion electrolysis, but the fundamental formulae are preserved as a trade socret. Magneaito is essential to the work, but, apart from, the com- pany's present process, method is being examined whereby the deposits of dolomite available in this country can be substituted for the non-indigenous magnesite. "HELP IN AIRCRAFT DESIGN The supply of this new metal to aircraft manufacturers, makers of engines and motors of all kinds, textile and other concerns is de signed to resolve the problems raised by a constant demand for higher power-to-weight ratios. It intended to supplant "aluminium wholly, because the two materials are more complementary than competitive.

Elektron alloys are not physical- ly able to compete with the domes tic dominion of aluminium; they have no place in the kitchen. Their function is the saving of unsprung weight on a vehicle or in the air, and in this connection it may be noted that the Comet aeroplanes which took part in the race to Australls had their range increased by 7 per cent, because of additional supplies of all and petrol which could be taken on board after elektron castings had been incorporated.
