Abstract: An assembly plant, in particular for assembling motor vehicles, which permits design of final assembly of motor vehicles so that it is as flexible as possible in terms of space. A central elongated assembly hall is provided in which essentially automated assembly regions are provided and finger-like partial regions having essentially manual workplaces are provided projecting at a right angle from the longitudinal side. A change in the sequence in the manual regions can be accomplished easily by an extension of the finger-like partial regions at the head end.

Abstract: To improve the resistance to scratching of plastic molded articles comprising a polymer matrix filled with inorganic fillers, the filler content being 50 to 90% by weight in relation to the filled matrix, it is suggested that the filler comprise two filler fractions (a) and (b), wherein the filler fraction (a) has a particle size distribution with 98% by weight of the particles having a particle size .ltoreq.150 .mu.m and is distributed essentially uniformly in the polymer matrix, and wherein the filler fraction (b) comprises particles having a particle size of approximately 300 .mu.m to approximately 3000 .mu.m, wherein the proportion of the filler fraction (b) is approximately 1 to 35% by weight of the total filler content, and wherein the proportion of the filler fraction (b) in an outer surface layer of the molded article is enriched to at least 30% by weight in relation to the total mass of the filled matrix.

Abstract: In a casting composition comprising a curable syrup which contains a liquid monomer and polymer components optionally dissolved therein, and an inorganic filler which includes a quartz sand product, in order to simplify the production of white molded articles, it is proposed that a product, the individual grain of which consists in the core essentially of quartz and at the surface essentially of .alpha.-cristobalite (low-temperature modification) be selected as quartz sand product.

Abstract: In a castable, curable composition for producing plastic molded articles, comprising a sirup containing a proportion of acrylic acid monomer and/or derivatives thereof, in order to achieve an improved boiling resistance of the plastic molded articles produced from the composition, it is proposed that a proportion of a further component of the formula (I) ##STR1## which contains an ethylenically unsaturated group of the formula (II)--R.sub.5 --R.sub.6 (II)and/or contains a group of the formula (III) ##STR2## be added. The sirup may also optionally contain a proportion of a prepolymer, in particular PMMA, and, in addition, a particulate, inorganic filler in a proportion of 50 to 90% by weight in relation to the total composition, pigments and a radical initiator system are contained in the sirup. The viscosity of the total composition is .ltoreq.100 Pa.multidot.
