Middletown, Conn, Dec. 81 - Did
you know they make biscuits out of
asbestos and brass? They're not the
kind that mother used to make, of
course, but without them the we'll
known jeep couldn't do its all-im-
portant job.
Let's not get technical as did one
of the Russell Manufacturing Com
pany's engineers in explaining how
they are made. Well, anyway: 1t
seems they take and make rope
like cord of asbestos and brass wire
and wind 1t into cylinder shape.
Then down comes powerful press
and f1attens the cylinder into-yes,
you've guessed it, biscuit.
The Russell workers call 'em bis
cupits, so biscuits 1t is. They're
made into facings for the modern
automatic clutch, without which
our modern mechanical armies
wouldn't be found wandering
around even lonely road on Kis-
ka. The biscuits will be on your new
postwar car, too!
