Discovery of a process for mar again that h been filed away from metal sur- faces has armed the nation’s police with what promises to be the most effective means yet found for identi- fying stolen automobiles. visible numbers Recovering stolen motor cars is one of the biggest police tasks to- day. For the manufecturer’s num- ber, by which suspected cars might be identified, is erased by the thief from the metal in which {t was im- pressed with dies. A new number is stamped into the surface and the car's identity obliterated. The new number may sometimes be detected as bogus, but the original figures, the most important clue to the original owner of the car have van- ished. In New York City alone, ac- cording to figures in possession of the Aetna Life Insurance company, 1,107 automobiles were stolen in 2 and less than half of them were recovered, This method for revealing num-} bers that have been filed or ham- visibility seems simple been explained. When r the engine of an automobile, the metal beneath the numbers is com pressed by the blow of the die. Al though the surface of the metal may he shaved away until the In dented figures disappear, there still remains a compression in the metal conforming to the out!ine of the numbers but inv @ to the eye Any process c: » of expanding this compressed metal hack to its normal state would cause the ob literated numbers to appear in re lief. After much experiment, it was found that an application of heat and acid would accomplish this purpose.
