The world's largest rubber life boat, built by The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company, reaches a new peak of efficiency. Built to carry 25 men, the boat is put through further tests (above) by the U. S. Coast Guard at San Pedro, Calif., by packing 54 men aboard. Not only does the boat safely hold the men but it also is easy to handle and rides 8-foot waves with ease. When deflated the boat is 5 feet by 7 feet by 18 inches and within three minutes can be inflated to 25 feet long and 10 feet abeam. The Firestone boat is expected to be of far-reaching importance to the armed forces and to be the shipping industry.
