Today, the nail file is banished from the automobile tool kit. Tungsten points, developed in the General Electric Research Laboratory, in Schenectady, N. Y., have replaced soft and expensive platinum. There is little need to file tungsten points. Hidden away, requiring no attention, they break electric circuits half a million times an hour and save car owners millions of dollars a year. Is this all G-E research has done for 24 million car owners? No! It has given new welding methods—and a stronger and safer car at lower cost; Glyptal finishes—and the expense of repainting your car is postponed for years; headlights and highway lighting —night driving becomes safer for motorist and pedestrian. Every product that carries the G-E name has built into it the results of G-E research. Other industries—and the public that buys the goods of those industries—have benefited by this research, that has saved the American people from ten to one hundred dollars for every dollar it has earned for General Electric. 96-136DH GENERAL ELECTRIC 90 7 he Maine Alumnus details, I will wait till next month to tell Auntie Maddy—that makes two of my "Stan” Henderson is a student sales you what it is loomics who have had 1 ecent additions engineer for the Ingersoll-Rand Company I had a nice letter fiom Dot Newman to their families in Phillipsburg, New Jersey.
