RADIO. The fabric is provided with an extremely high finish which forms a pleasing panel, and it provides also great mechanical strength and efficient electrical screening when used in connection with wireless installations, particularly those of the Directional type,- and would be valuable for wireless transmitting and receiving stations. EXPLOSIVES ROOMS. Conductors incorporated in the material laid as flooring would absorb electro static charges - which would be continually dissipated. In the case of lining for explosives rooms, whether for floors, walls or ceilings, a single layer fabric would only be necessary. RAILWAY CARRIAGES, WAITING ROOMS, CEILINGS, WALLS, MOTOR CARS, BUSES, ETC. General. The reinforced fabric now under consideration - 1. Serves the dual purpose of strengthening and heating the material without adding weight. 2. The reinforcements of the fabric are the heating elements. 3. The heat is actually generated in the fabric, where it is required. The Fabric can be of one ply or multi-ply - coloured white, brown, or tinted. Matt or glass smooth surface, and reinforced by steel wires of various strengths with copper connecting wires for electric heating. All in one sheet, thus being efficient and economical. .4. | ||
