...Manhattan, mechanics last week set about installing, in a Broadway booth, ten of the latest models of a four-year-old invention of one F. E. Gray of Philadelphia. Four years ago Mr. Gray devised a new place to drop nickels- the Sodamat. From the original Soda-mat all a patron got for his nickel was an ice-cream soda or other-soft drink, mixed with mechanical generosity, despatch and cleanliness; automatically spouted into the glass after the plunk of the coin. On the second Sodamat model, there were electric lights. The next carbonated its own soda-water. The models...
John P. Holland was by no means the "father of the submarine." As early as 1775, Inventor David Bushnell made a practical model. Robert Fulton followed Bushnell's ideas with a Nautilus which dived down 25 feet and stayed down four hours, its crew breathing compressed air. The South used submarines in the Civil War and one sank the Federal warship Housatonic though swamped and sunk herself by her torpedo's explosion. The French Plongeur of 1863 was 146 feet long, driven by compressed air motor. The significant features of the Holland experiments were the in troduction of a gasoline...
Looks. Is the complexion of the motor highway to change radically or only in slight degree? That is the question which is everywhere asked when Henry Ford announces a new line of cars. Never since familiar Ford Model T first appeared (in 1907) has the change of complexion been radical. This time it seemed that a radical change of complexion must come. Last week a photographer waylaid one of the forthcoming Ford models as it whizzed along on a country road test in southeastern Michigan. The blurred pictures revealed a radiator on the general style of the Lincoln; a spring...
...consumption were "less . . . than any of our previous models." Top speed was 65 m.p.h. Getaway and pick-up surpassed many another type of machine. Works. Detroit wiseacres said that production on the new model would be kept down, at first, to around 300 per day. The Ford statement, however, said that all Ford plants were retooled, indicating a readiness to stride out rapidly towards the old Ford supremacy in mass production if the new models -and "moderate" prices-are well received...
While the Williamstown vigilantes talked and pondered, other conferences planned after the Williamstown model concluded or prepared to begin talking, pondering. The Institute of Pacific Relations closed in Honolulu. A two-day conference of Latin-America was completed at the University of New Hampshire. And at the University of Virginia, halls were swept for an Institute of Public Affairs, designed to air chiefly domestic problems of the U. S. Among the vigilantes scheduled to appear at Charlottesville, Va., were Governors Alfred E. Smith of New York, Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, Harry F. Byrd of Virginia, Director of the Budget...
