long time Is magnesium, light
weight champion of all metals
now available for industrial use.
Magnesium is and will be as
plentiful as seawater or the
salt brines far beneath the earth
which are the source of this
amazing metal now being pro-
duced to meet demands of war
at 10 times the pre-war rate.
Its increasing use in aircraft
to tighten weight and increase
pay loads and tensile strength
of our military planes has
brought about tremendous ex-
pansion of magnesium found
ry facilities by the Bendix Az

planes when they are freed from
