Another firm show a dashboard petrol guage which contains a coloured liquid only, and registers by the increase or diminution of the air pressure in the tank with which it is connected. Another novelty was a combination dashboard watch, compass and aneroid barometer, which was intended to fit on the inventor’s stendard speed indicator.

The compound sheet thus formed, it is claimed, cannot be broken up like a plain sheet of glass by the impact of a stone, or if a collision occurred, it would simply “star M or crack, the celluloid holding the pieces together. It is to all intents and purposes as clear as a plain sheets of glass and I.; ion-inflammable.
