may be a common sight in many
parts of Europe.
The wood chopper, one of several
types exhibited at the fair, is the
chief part of the equipment of gas
wood filling stations for trucks and
tractors now being constructed along
many of the Old World's highways.
With the assistance and under the
supervision of the German govern
ment, 700 such stations have been
established and plans approved for
1.500 others.
Under ideal conditions this wood
chopper hacks almost 300 cubic feet
of cord wood an hour into small
chunks and blocks which wood-gas
generators require as fuel

To this potential market nearly 40
German firms exhibited at the Vien

spare parts which have passed the
efficiency tests required by the gov

In Greater Germany and those
parts of Europe now occupied by the
German army, according to an offi
cial announcement, approximately
150,000 generator gas trucks are in
service. Through their use Germany
saves each month more than 11,000,

purposes.tin some of these trucks coal

In the new trucks and tractors, how
ever, the generator is fitted neatly
into the machine's general lines.
Of the trucks with Diesel motors
now operating in Germany, 12,000 to
1 (>,000 will have been converted into
generator gas vehicles in the near fu

On .Germany's farms (5,500 gaso

adapted to generator gas, and 20,000
new generator-gas tractors put into
service during the next 12 months,
according to present plans.
On Europe's rivers almost 1,000
boats are running on self-generated
gas and another hundred are in pro

approximately 1,400.
With self-generated gas, ordinary
