Abstract
A LARGE company of engineers and others interested, including representatives of the Admiralty and of the War Office, assembled at the Brennan Torpedo Works, near Chatham, on Friday, February 25, to witness a demonstration of Mr. Brennan's mono-rail vehicle. The vehicle shown, which is the first of its kind, has been designed for rough military purposes, not for high speeds, and the trials on this occasion were intended to show its adaptability for this kind of work. A general description of the car and the experimental track appeared on p. 79 of our issue for November 18, 1909, to which we may refer our readers supplemented with the illustration now shown of the vehicle standing on one of the sharp curves. In this illustration may be noticed the radiators for cooling the circulating water required for the petrol motors, these radiators being secured to the front of the machinery cab: the front boaie with its two wheels, the rear wheel being driven by side rods and balanced cranks from one of the two electromotors; also one of the side chocks, on which the car may rest when required for unloading or other purposes. There is a chock on each side of the car. Mr. Brennan is the centre figure in the machinery cab.
