CAR DOORS STOPPED FROM RATTLING
British car manufacturers are using a new magnet material which holds doors securely and spares motorists the amioyance of rattling doors when travelling fast. The door is closed in the ordinary way, but as the edge of the door approaches the lock the magnet “takes over’” draws the door closed and holds it firmly in place. In fact, such is the grip of the new | magnet that a special key is -provided, the turning of which forces the metal part of the door away from the magnet, when a slight push on , the door opens it in the ordinary J way.
