continuous iimwenger service on a full-
size railway, 300 ,vnrds in length, eon-
lalulnK a 1 In 20 Kradlent, The line
consists nt' two parallel truck* about
six feet apart from center to center
ami the cars (ravel continuously round
the circuit, The coaches, which hold
11' jiassctiKi'is, nre propelled by a re-
volving spiral, laid between the tracks
and carried mi spokes projecting from
a massive sieel tube, Kroui the uu-
derframe ot the conch depends an arm
carrying two vertical rollers that en-
gage with the spiral. At the stations
the pitch til" the spiral is very line and
between .stations the pitch is very
