Gold plating helps stretch scarce metal for precision parts
In Chicago, Rees T. Makins of M W laboratories explains how tiny gold deposits are used in precision plating. He notes no gold bars or leaf are kept on site and claims 5 cents worth of gold can replace 20 cents of material. In Belfast, police report a shoulder wound to a policeman after a shooting and two bomb explosions at a bank and a cigarette factory, with both blasts suspected to be car bombs.
