This position in the market has been attained through improvement in foundry methods for casting metallic aluminum and Increase In knowledge of suitable alloys. Large sections of aluminum casting are now used In making touring cars and the inclosed bodies of certain other motor cars, a use which was not practicable ten years ago. Cast aluminum is also used for making automobile dashes. Bodies made of It are lighter than those made of other sheet metal and have a rigid surface that will not dent easily when handled. They are also safer in case of accldont.
