...Green is still, however, untried and in that respect the Harvard team of today has the advantage.

...engineers are now debating between the use of steam and gasoline. Steam engines in cold weather such as is now here are inconvenient in that there is a constant danger of freezing when the engines are not in use.

In the pulley system that will probably be used four ropes are utilized...
