The cirush fcs Mow which retarded development tn Britain fell tn 1385. when an act was passed requiring each car to car ry three drivers, fo be preceded by a man carrying a red flag, and not to exceed fubr miles nn hour, while blow ing off steam was prohibited. Devel opment In England was then limited to heavy road locomotives, with s few, exceptions. In 1885 Gottlieb Daimler, Austria, fitted a gasoline engine to 1 rmotor bicycle. In the same year Butler constructed , Ms motorcycle. Panliard and Lecnsanr adopted the Dnlmler engine In 1887, and construct ed a car in which sliding gears were need for changing speed.

"Having flown the North Atlantic, I am convinced that It Is not the' ronte because of the fog, heavy seas and the absence of ship lanes and also the low temperatures. Further more, the season In this latitude is too short for regular service. "There are really only a few months In which snch a crossing can be made with any degree of safety. "Down below the weather Is better and the conditions generally more favorable." Transatlantic operations, he be lieves, should develop on a schedule of Intermediate stops Instead of non stop flights from one continent to an other. He believes seadromes should be established along the route, cutting down Intermediate hops to. approxi mately 600 jailes each, permitting the carrying of a pay load and Insuring greater safety. ?till Hwwrd.
