DURELL INTERNATIONAL, one of the leaders in the manufacture of innovative solar products,
has announced that their DI 7700 Solar Car Battery Charger is now available in British Columbia.
(Contact: Silvertree Imports, Box 37083 - 2930 Lonsdale Ave., N.Yan, V7N 4M4. Available by
cheque or money order for $39.95 plus $3.50 for shipping and handling.) Not only does the bat-
tery eliminate the need for cumbersome jumper cables and expensive tow trucks, but the DI
7700 prolongs the life of your car, boat or truck battery indefinitely. The unit simply plugs into
your cigarette lighter, with the compact solar pane! on the dash. The natural rays of the sun in-
stantly absorb into the solar panel (even on cloudy days), thus converting the rays into an elec-
trical charge. In minutes, you are off and running again. All DI 7700 units fit into the glove

compartment when not in use and come with a five-year warranty.

Design plays part in corrosion

tory for its steel products, we can
alter and adjust our testing pro-
cedures to meet the individual
corrosion resistance test require-
ments of each car manufacturer,”
said James Schroeder, manager of
the LTV Steel Customer Technical
Center.

LTV Steel is the only domestic
steel company that is a supplier to
every U.S. automobile manufac-
turer as well as every Japanese
automobile manufacturer in the
United States.

Other important steps in im-
proving anticorrosion performance
of the steel occur during the
manufacturing of the automobile,
such as the application of a
phosphate undercoat before ap-

plying the paint primer. The
phosphate is the bond between the
metal and the primer.

Finally, the structural design of
a vehicle plays a part in how resis-
‘ant the vehicle is to corrosion.
for example, cosmetic corrosion,
er exterior surface damage like
paint chipping and scratches, can
be reduced by providing surfaces
that are more resistant to chipping
and structures that do not expose
panel edges.

Perferation corrosion, which
rusts the metal from the inside out
by mecisture trapped inside auto
body cavities, can be reduced if

the car’s design makes it easier to
coat with anticorrosive treatments
and allows water to drain off easi-
ly. Using steel sheets coated with
zinc, zinc-iron or zinc-nickel
alloys is the most certain way to
avoid ‘‘rust-out’’.

Just as the current car models
are better able to withstand the
battle with the elements than those
of our fathers’ generation, the
cars of tomorrow will experience
the benefits of the product devel-
opments and manufacturing tech-
niques being used by the steel
suppliers and auto manufacturers
today.

M. SCOTT PECK, author of The
Road Less Traveled, will be giving
a lecture at the Georgia Hotel in
Vancouver on Saturday, March 14
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

sonal and spiritual growth.

The Road Less Traveled has

lion copies.
