ELECTRIC AEROPLANE.
CANADIAN INVENTOR’S CLAIM. A 46-year-old Toronto man, Mr Edgar Ward, claims to have invented a silent, vibrationless aeroplane which is driven by electricity. The invention centres around an entirely new type of battery which, it is claimed, will operate a vehicle for 500 working hours at a cost of 80 cents (about three shillings). Carrying four people, the aeroplane made an almost noiseless landing a.t Toronto during a secret test, and now an experimental flight from Detroit to Vancouver is planned.
