New Flooring Combines

Unique Safety Features

Safety is the keyword in a new resin flooring, Selbaglo, developed by Selby, Battersby & Co., Phil- adelphia, Pa., manufacturer of building and marine products.

Perhaps the most outstanding and newsworthy feature of the

Selbaglo is its ability to glow in the dark, allowing people to find their way out of buildings and other structures in the event of a power failure.

Selbaglo, which is trowel-applied

December 15, 1978 and requires no terrazzo grinding equipment, has been carefully de- signed as a safety-oriented deco- rative flooring. It has excellent non-slip qualities, is resistant to fire as well as a wide variety of chemicals, and meets the tough physical standards of Federal

Specification MIL-D-3134. Now, its luminescent characteristics make Selbaglo one of the most unique flooring systems in the industry.

That's right. Navigation Safety

Regulations saythat come June 1, every ship over 10,000 gross tons must have a back-up radar sys- tem. But they don't say you have to buy one.

Not when RCA's new plan gives you such a great deal on a leased radar system. It saves you real money!

You can have optional service maintenance. We have 12 Marine

Service Centers ringing the U.S. —so you get expert service in every port.

Selbaglo is energized by any light that provides a source of incandescent or ultraviolet rays, such as sunlight or incandescent and fluorescent lamps. When fully energized, a Selbaglo floor will provide as high as eight hours, to a minimum of two hours glow time, which is far beyond what it would take to evacuate a power- crippled building.

The product is especially suit- able in areas where safety is a single source for your radar needs. For example, we can in- stall and maintain a Krupp-Atlas radar with basic collision avoid- ance features for early warning.
