AN EXCITING PHASE OF MONO-RAIL TRAFFIC.
One of the most curious features of mono-rail gyroscopic traffic will be the novel types of bridge over which the new cars will pass. Mr. Brennan, the Inventor, has already demonstrated that a large model car can pass across a wide gulf on a single strand. This fact opens up vistas of new modes of travel, and In the drawing above some Idea is given of how a large mono-rail car such as the inventor has sketched out will pass across a river gorge. The double flanges would keep the wheels on the cable and the car would, of course, keep Itself erect just as easily while resting on a cable as on a single land rail.—London Sphere.
