RAILWAY IN THE AIR
SUSPENDED CARS REVOLUTIONARY INVENTION (United Service) Reed. 1.35 p.m. LONDON, Sunday. The “Sunday Chronicle” says an inventor named Bennie has been permitted the use of a North-Eastern railway siding to carry out shortly a revolutionary experiment in running a cigar-shaped rail-plane, driven by air propellers and suspended from an. overhead monorail track supported by trestles, which will permit of its construction over existing railways and roads. Mr. Bennie claims that the machine is capable of 120 miles an hour with passengers and mails. The design will allow the cars to rise slightly by the air, thus avoiding the friction of their weight on th® rails.
