Slattsmobile: Slattery’s homemade three wheeler reaches 50 mph
R Slattery of 608 First Avenue W has spent a year refining the three wheeled Slattsmobile. The car uses a scooter motor and a bicycle derived drive train delivering about 50 mph top speed and 75 miles per gallon. It features a teardrop metal body planned and a plexiglas airplane style dome. Slattery believes mass production could yield $500 to $600 finish models, while custom builds may reach $1,000 to $1,200. He test drove it 200 miles daily on a Florida to Cedar Rapids trip lasting six days.

Steel Shortage Hits Small Firms Paying Excess
Kohnstamm says his firm faced steel at 185 to 245 per ton and that customers sometimes paid well above market to keep plants running while securing needed tonnage. A 58 ton lot reportedly cost 237 per ton fob New York, tied to Youngstown Sheet and Tube and Krieger Steel on Long Island City. Metro politan Body Co. of Bridgeport was the customer. He suspects under the hat brokers dominate and notes his 500 workers could grow by 250 if steel were available. About 1,500 US railway tunnels total 320 miles long.
