It was the medieval armorer’s task to protect his chief against foemen, but weather-protection was a more difficult matter. Thus many 3 knight was spent in rusty armor. Engineers and scientists at Ford Motor Company, engaged in both pure and applied research, are coping even today with the» problem of body protection (car bodies, that is). Through greater understanding of tha chemistry of surfaces, they have developed new paint primers and undercoatings, new rustproofing methods, and special sealers that guard entire car bodies against nature’s corrosive forces—all of which add armor-lika,’ protection to Ford-built cars. From other scientific inquiries will undoubf^ edly come new materials with protectiva properties vastly superior to those of today.'
