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 average, four and one-half pounds of iron a mile. It consists of three powerful electric magnets sus- pended from the chassis of a two- ton truck. A generator, mount- ed on the chassis...and driven by a separate engine, supplies the current. The machine, according to the Association, was designed, and built by the Missouri State Highway Department, and cost $4,000.

The magnets are said to be capable of causing a three-pound object to leap four inches. The highway department says they do the best work when adjusted four inches above the pavement, and traveling 10 or 12 miles an hour.
