Pioneer in the development of aluminum as a material for automotive parts, especially the automobile piston. Jardine was manager of Alcoa's Cleveland Developmental Division, 1940-1953, and held numerous patents for automobile parts manufactured from aluminum. In the late 1920s, Jardine helped to develop the Peerless V-16, a luxury automobile made from aluminum components, but the car never went into production.
