benchmark vehicles. The UltraLight Steel Auto Body-Advanced Vehicle Concepts (ULSAB-AVC)
program is the latest phase of an AU$82 million, 10 year study to prove that lightweight
vehicles can be cost effectively manufactured from steel for significant environmental
and safety benefits.

7. Lattice highlights rollforming possibilities |
An Australian company's
rollforming achievements to create steel lattice from COLORBOND® steel have inspired
its managing director to look for more challenges. Gram Engineering Managing Director,
Ron Mann, has used specially designed and built technology at his plant to produce
a three dimensional steel lattice. He's now trying to develop other innovative
products made possible using his experience with steel and the latest rollforming
technology.

9. Did You Know... |
Five completely trivial
but fun facts to boggle your mind. The theme for this edition of 'S.O.S' is measurement.
Did you know:
- The one-foot measurement
is based on one-third of the length of the arm of King Henry I (1068-1135) of
England.
-
A mile on the ocean
and a mile on land are not the same distance. On the ocean, a nautical mile measures
1,853 metres. A land or statute mile is 1,609 metres.
- Ancient Greeks originally determined the fathom, a measurement of 6 feet (1.83
metres), by the length of a sailor's outstretched arms.
- A "hairsbreadth away" is 1/48 of an inch (0.53 millimetres)
- "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is the equivalent of 111,100 kilometres under
the sea. If taken literally, as the Earth is only 12,756 km in diameter, this
puts Jules Verne's submarine a third of the way to the moon!
