FLYING PULLMAN.
A GERMAN INVENTION. SUCCESSFUL TRIAL TRIP. Press Association Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received Tuesday, 8.30 a.m.) LONDON, Monday. The “Times” Berlin correspondent says: A “dying pullman,” the invention of the German engineer Kruekenberg, shaped like a Zeppelin and driven with a five hundred horse power aeroplane engine and four-bladed propellor, made a trial trip on a rail track used for Opel’s rocket car experiments.
It carried forty passengers and reached a speed of 94 miles hourly within two minutes of starting. It, is claimed that it can travel sixtytwo miles on twelve gallons of oil fuel, and is likely to revolutionise the designs of express trains. Special springs eliminate vibration. — ‘ 1 Times. ’ ’
