It was designed by Harvey Johnson; 38; of Johnson Road Builders; Cortland St.; Toronto. Driver; abofe; is Gordon Cane; chief mechanic. Heat waves can be seen at right from high-temperature heating element. The heated asphalt is then planed level without digging up and replacing whole existing surface.
