SPEEDING UP RADIOLOCATION
CZECH INVENTION SMUGGLED
PAST THE NAZIS
By the last train to leave free Czechoslovakia there came to Britain the drawings for a new type of soldering iron which has beaten everything else for speed in Britain's'' aircraft,, radiolocation and tank factories. lit is the, invention of a Czech manufacturer who. with very little money and only two cases of personal luggage, passed the German Army of Occupation as they were crossing the frontier. When he arrived in London, he concentrated his .whosle attention on his new "quick'" soldering iron, realising how vital a part so simple a tool plays in Avar production and maintenance. Put to its first speed test at radio control and transmitting stations, the tool is. noAv supplied from a South Wales factory at the rate: of three to four thousand a week to radiolocation centres, aerodromes, shipyards, ordnance: factories, telephone exchanges and In a wide range of general factories. Feature of the new soldering iron is that it is equally effective when used with the new soldering alloys with lower tin content introduced in Britain to save stocks of tin.
