Crash Absorber Thrives on Bumps
SHOCK absorbers for road bumps have long been equipment within the reach of all, but Captain Franz Carl Schleiff, former German ace, has perfected a shock absorber to take care of head-on collisions. This is but one embodiment of Schleiff’s revolutionary principle for killing living force in moving bodies. The bumper is made of solid rubber backed up by powerful shock absorbers.
What will those zany Germans think of next???
