Rubber cushion
NZPA-Reuter Tokyo Buildings of the future may bounce their way safely through big earthquakes, according to a Japanese tyre company which says it has developed a shock-absorbing rubber for use in con-
struction. Bridgestone Corporation said its rubber could help buildings survive the strongest earthquakes by absorbing up to one-third of the force of the shock waves. It will last 60 years and can be replaced when it wears out.
