Brisbanes Scientist Aims To Fix Headlight Glare
A Brisbane scientist and consulting chemist Mr. C Holub devised a thin greenish film formed from solidified metallic celloids to fit between glass sheets for headlamps. Tests in Brisbane and Sydney showed a 16 cp lamp with the film produced mellow daylight like light, lighting road sides and avoiding glare on oncoming drivers, with the car able to pass into the other beam safely. The invention, not yet mass produced, promises broader motorist and field use once factory plans proceed.
