Anti-Oxydant

The Dyestuffs Division of Imperial Chemical In- dustries Lid has announced the development of a new non-staining anti-oxydant for rubber.
It is described as equal In anti-oxydant power
to the powerful staining phenyl beta-naphthy- lamine.
Known as Nonox WSP, it is alated to give good protection

of the rubber with copper and/or manganese,

It is pointed out that it should prove useful a an anti-oxydant and copper Inhibitor for various com- pounds, including latex.

NEW MACHINE· KEEPS RUNWAYS DRY
Firemen drenched the runways with thousands of gallons of water for a demonstration at London Airport of a new machine which. It is claimed, can eliminate the effects of a heavy storm in a matter of minutes. The machine, known as the "Acroduck", is a glant vacuum mechanism which can suck up The water at the rate of 600 gallons in under 10 minutes. Acroduck, It is believed, may have the additional advantage of removing pebbles and dust as well as water, and so get rid of three of the biggest dangers to landing aircraft-Reuterphoto.

Self-Reglation Alternator
A self-regulating, self- exciting alternator recent- ly developed by a British firm is specially designed for small power or house lighting.
Particular consideration has been given to the need for robust construction, and the ventilating apertures have been designed to allow the maximum air flow, to stive complete protection against falling particles of moisture or dirt.
tho protected, Completely brushgear is, however, casily accessible, and both alternating current and direct current brushes can readily be replaced if necessary. “
Standard Range
The alternators are inherent- ly self-regulating with plus/~ minus two and a half per cent of rated voltage under normal operating conditions at unity power factor.
The standard range of outputs is from 0.25 kilo-volt-ampere to
2.0 KVA, and the alternators are available for single-phase voltages for 60 cycles. 9% 39% cyclos tupplica
