But the chief significance of Goodyear's expensive new laboratory was its preview of the part that synthetic rubber and plastics may play in the postwar world...
Goodyear's new "radio static neutralizer" has a set of electronic tubes that intercepts outside electrical interference and reduces it to less than one twenty-thousandth of a volt. In one test a 25,000-volt spark projected on a radio antenna was so effectively tamed by the neutralizer that the set smoothly brought in a short-wave broadcast from Europe. But the neutralizer is reserved for the armed forces, will not be available to civilians until after...
...Radio static has at last been smoothed into silence.
