At the height of the race to build an atomic bomb, an indoor tennis court in one of the Midwest's most affluent residential neighborhoods became a secret Manhattan Project laboratory. Polonium in the Playhouse: The Manhattan Project's Secret Chemistry Work in Dayton, Ohio presents the intriguing story of how this most unlikely site in Dayton, Ohio, became one of the most classified portions of the Manhattan Project. Seized by the War Department in 1944 for the bomb project, the Runnymede Playhouse was transformed into a polonium processing facility, providing a critical radioactive ingredient for the bomb initiator-the mechanism that triggered a chain reaction. With the help of a Soviet spy working undercover at the site, it was also key to the Soviet Union's atomic bomb program. The work was directed by industrial chemist Charles Allen Thomas who had been chosen by J. Robert Oppenheimer and General Leslie Groves to coordinate Manhattan Project chemistry and metallurgy. As one of the nation's first science administrators, Thomas was responsible for choreographing the plutonium work at Los Alamos and the Project's key laboratories. The elegant glass-roofed building belonged to his wife's family. Weaving Manhattan Project history with the life and work of the scientist, industrial leader and singing-showman Thomas, Polonium in the Playhouse offers a fascinating look at the vast and complicated program that changed world history and introduces the men and women who raced against time to build the initiator for the bomb.Binding Type: Paperback

Just the patch, nothing else
Size: 24 x 35mm, Size: 24 x 35mm
Tried this with cement glue for PVC piping. Not sure if they are a different type of glue. The patch didn't stick at all. The instruction says to use lighter fluid, which I didn't have. Very inconvenient to need all sort of stuff to just patch a few dollar tube. I was hoping a simple process of removing the cover and sticking it on the tube. Several hours of waisted time.

Amazing kit, it has everything you need!
I never really thought about keeping a tire repair kit in my car, until I had a flat in the middle of nowhere. That’s when I got this 54-piece Flat Tire Repair Kit with Air Compressor, and now I wouldn’t travel without it.
The kit has everything you need to patch up a flat quickly and get back on the road, and it’s surprisingly easy to use, even for someone like me who’s never done it before. The air compressor works fast, inflating my tire in just a few minutes, and the tools feel solid and well-made. Value for the money: 10/10
Honestly, this little kit (amazing size) saved me from a stressful situation, and now I tell everyone: just keep one in your car, you never know when you’ll need it!

Great Kit for ATV's
Great so far, bought to keep in our Four Wheeler in case of flat on the trail.
Pump is great for ATV Purposes not sure about cars and trucks etc.
Ran all 4 tires up to 8 psi from 6 psi in just a few minutes,so it does work great for lower psi use.
Tools are built well and plenty of plugs and other items are provided.
All fits well in supplied case in the back storage of my 2025 Cforce 600 Touring just for reference.
Overall great value for what is included for that time when you need it.
Must have for ATV's!
