Fly-Sized Powerhouse

One of the smallest electric motors ever built is no larger than the ordinary housefly. The tiny powerhouse, weighing a quarter of a pound, not only runs itself but operates other delicate machinery as well. * Product of the ingenuity, patience and skill of a Nebraska man who worked on it three years, the motor is composed of 58 parts of gold, silver, copper, brass and iron.
