BACK TO ARMOUR.
Metal suits of clothes are only a few of the things foreshadowed at a recent demonstration of examples of "metalised" materials. Suitings, it is claimed, now can be so treated as to make all metal clothes, which, although just as flexible as an ordinary suit, never will wear out. Among those announced as also likely soon to be present are: Unbreakable glass and pottery. Metal wall paper. Metal airship envelopes. Like life and the recent war it is "all very difficult." How difficult may be inferred from the fact that Professor Einstein, author of the theory that things are not really thus, but only look that way according as you look at it, has something to do with the process invented by a Pole. Metalisation is, briefly, a new invention by which a wide range of materials may be so treated in a metal bath that they become a quite new material, combining both the qualities of the original and the applied metal. British Airships, Ltd., thinks enough o c it to buy an option on the commercial rights.
