T&« 1/O»don Times states thai a motoi car with a full-sized body, but only two wheels, has been constructed by the' Wo>; seley Tool and' Motor-ear Company, Birmingham, from the designs of br: P, Behilowsky, and has ibeteved satisfactorily in preliminary trials on the road. The two wheels are plated in tine as in an ordinary bicycle, and the machine is kept upright by means of a gyroscope device controlled by two pemlnlipus, which, when the car incline.* to one side or it-he other from the perpendicular, brtin'g the into action to oppose tho tendency to overturning. Tho weight of the gyrosscope is said to be from one-tenth ito one-twenty-lifth o f tho (total weight of the car loaded, and it rotates as from 1208 to 1500 revolutions a minute, the maximum, energy absorbed 'being 1.25 b.h.p. The me ehanism is 'ike that wf the mono-rail model which Dr. Schilowsky has deposited in the Science Mu-ieum a.t South i Kensington. HDie inventor claims that a mono-trach motor-ear running under gyroscopic control can attain a given (speed with a much less powerful engine, and with a 'lighten frame and ! body than would he. needed for a fourdieeled car >of the same rating; that, as ' it requires only a very narrow path, it is particularly adapted for use in new and undereloped countries; that th- . smoothness of running is greatly int, created; that the fuel consumption is . lessened; that the cost of manufacture can be reduced; and tlhat the gyroscopic control to safety in running t at high »peed round curves.
