| Resistoid THE INEXPENSIVE NEW COVERING PROCESS! Used extensively for Covering: ELECTRICAL SWITCH-GEAR, METERS, ETC. CINEMA AND THEATRE FITTINGS MOTOR BUS HANDRAILS STEERING WHEELS MOTOR CAR FITTINGS RAILWAY COACH FITTINGS MARINE EQUIPMENT STAIRWAY HAND-RAILING SHOP AND BAR FITTINGS AEROPLANE FITTINGS METAL FURNITURE SANITARY FITTINGS ETC. BATH RAILS, LAVATORY SEATS, ETC. and many other uses too numerous to mention AFTER many years of concentrated research Resistoid has been perfected as a process. Difficulties have been purposely met and overcome; every test has been applied scientifically and under practical working conditions; the results have been studied and corrections made where necessary—and now we are in a position to tell you of the wonderful properties of this new process. The flexibility of Resistoid under every condition makes it an economical covering for all Wood, Metal, Rubber, and even Cloth fixtures, decorations, etc. The modern finish given is a true comparison to the excellent standard of perfection required to-day. The added safety of “ non-flam.” and insulation are important advantages to users, and the fact that it is non-chipping, non-corrosive, and weatherproof makes RESISTOID ideal for the manufacturer. For the Electrical Engineering and Allied Trades, the Motor Manufactory, the Metal Furnishing and Sanitary Equipment and Metal Fittings’ Industries—RESISTOID must be considered. THERE are many outstanding features that place RESISTOID in the forefront of finishes. It may be applied in any colour or thickness to any material, and the high polish, colour and lustre is permanently retained after unlimited handling, being unaffected by water, atmospheric conditions and most chemicals. AS an Electrical Insulator it has resisting qualities approximating to that of Mica, and being “ non-flam ” can be used with absolute safety under most working conditions. RESISTOID, owing to its hygienic properties, is ideal for use on hospital furniture, hand-rails, etc. WORKS RESISTOID LTD HEATH STREET WORKS • NEWTON HEATH GOODS • L·M·S • DEAN LANE MANCHESTER, 10 Telephone : FAllsworth 1242 | ||
