‘SLINGS SHELLS
Centrifugal Force Is Used Instead of Powder to Expel Bullets.
By Science Service WASHINGTON, Aug. 2a centrifugal machine gun which is intended to shoot bullets in rapid succession, on the same principle that the sling used by David hurled the fatal stone which slew Goliath, is the subject matter of a patent (No. 2,043,117) recently granted here to B. F. S. Baden-Powell, English inventor and army officer, who
is known for his invention of the
man-lifting kite. The novel machine gun has no r and uses no powder to send its bullets against the enemy. Hence the familiar rat-tat-tat of conventional machine guns is eliminated. Centrifugal force, the same force that tilts a person riding in a car turning a corner, is the sole ‘“ex-
