ANTI-STATIC TYRES
4 MADE OF PIGMENTED RUBBER. Just as was predicted a few months ago. after seeing the results of research on the di-clectric properties, says the natural science editor of an important American journal, the newest tyres appearing on the market are componded of special rubber which, grounds static electricity from motor vehicles. One of the major blessings is elimination of danger from high voltage discharges from trucks, buses and passenger cars, without the familiar chain clanking along behind. Sparks as high as 10 000 volts have been measured not dangerous to humans because of the short duration, but o! great danger around gasoline tanks and trucks.
