FLU. May 1945 BONE-TO-MUSCLE WELD Nature perfected the welding of muscle to bone : Metalastik perfected the rubber-to-metal weld. When you chew your rations, Nature's weld provides hinges between bone and bone : when your car springs flutter as you drive over a bad road—the Metalastik rubber-to-metal weld provides the 'hinges' that allow movement between metal and metal. When, on the 'bus, you arch your foot to prevent vibration jarring through your-heels, Nature's construction softens the vibration: when a manufacturer is troubled by a vibrating piece of machinery he mounts it on Metalastik rubber mountings, or damps the oscillations of his crankshaft with a Metalastik torsional vibration damper. Nature's versatility is unparalleled, but one feature is common to everything from the earwig to the elephant: the equivalent of Metalastik practice. In its campaign against vibration, Metalastik engineering safe- guards feather-weight instruments, softens the harshness of high-powered engines, cushions the shudders in heavy torques, isolates the tremors of unbalanced machines and, in short, takes the 'Brr'out of vibration. That engineering experience is at your disposal. METALASTIK Metalastik Ltd., Leicester,
