Shockproof Connectors

Pass and Seyrirour has announcbd the introduction of the first shockproof, shatterproof cord connectors and caps with fully adjustable non-metallic cord grrp. The f9800 Double-S cord connectors and caps are molded of a tough polycarbonate material with many times the impact strength of commonly used plastics.

Shockproofing is accomplished by a combination of design factors: cord grips are molded in one piece with the cap and canrnot rattle loose; there is no a.rmor, metal backplates or cable clamps to become "hot" due to worn insulation or loose wire str:ands.

Designed for continuous heavy-duty service, the Double-S is arc and moisture-resistant, will not support combusion, and is unaffected by extreme heat or cold, as well as the usual industrial greases, oils, salts, detergents and clea.ners.

Providing safe connections under demanding conditions where power intermptions can be costly, the cord connectors are colored a bright yellow for quick, easy identification.

Strong Door Surfoce

A pace-setting molded door surface, six times more resistant to indentation and scuffing than ordinary materials used in door manufacturing has been developed by Weyerhaeuser Company of Tacoma, Wash.

Called Molded Doq Skins, the new door surfaces are being used by about 10 leading door manufacturers. The door skins are formed from wood fibers and resin molded under high pressure, a system developed after 15 years of research. They are pressed into a popular six-panel colonial design to fit house doors of all standard sizes.

Weyerhaeuser engineers had the new door machine-slammed more than a million times without damage to test its toughness.

The factory-primed, one-piece surfacewill not separate and is free from joints so it requires no sanding or filling. Primed with an off-white coat, the door surface can be finish-painted in one easy application.

T'he door surdace is so strong and durable it takes a force of 3,600 pounds to drive a steel ball into the face.
