B. Bowen, chief of motive power and rolling stock, and where H. R. Naylor is works manager, it was John A. Hope, shops engi- neer, who conceived the idea for the machine which has eliminated many hours of labor required to draw file and scrape the radial surfaces. The motion links must. be finished to meet the high standards and close tolerances de- manded by the Royal Canadian Navy for engines in its escort service. The entire machine was made of discarded material, as shown in the labels on the different parts in this picture. The main base was a discarded iron cast- ing originally trade at Angus Shops for an erection jig for the more than 1,400 Valentine tanks which were built there for ser- vice in Russia on an earlier IDid You Ever Wonder?

Bat as a peacetime commercial ven- ture it still presents some serious Problems. High-speed super de luxe C.P.R. war contract. Other of the discards include the connecting rod of a locomotive, back in ser- vice now as the radial arm of the grinder after once earning retire- ment with a record of many thou- sand ton miles of freight to its credit. So it went through the entire list of materials put back to work in this important war job with an old style motor, a discarded grinder frame and even balance weights from a furnace door being utilized in the machine which saves precious hours in the production of marine engine power for the hulls being fabri- cated in Canadian shipyards. "spare -no -expense" air liuers are a present possibility, but air freight and express and reasonably -priced trans -oceanic air passenger service would run Into difficulties. Such a long hop as from Washing- ton ashington to Cherbourg or from San Fran- cisco to Honolulu would require so heavy and bulky a fuel load as to make the pay -load of passengers or cargo unprofitable. Orae simple 10- lution to the problem would be a string of refueling sead.omes or floating landing fields strung along trans -oceanic air routs. Application to construct such a seaclroln1 chain actually has been filed with the C'vll Aeronautics Board. ]7reh seadrome will provide a floating platform 79 feet above tht VIE at4 KESV AM pWVEItifSCI YOUR Duro dealer is at your service at all tunes.

There will also be pro- vision for the complete refueling and servicing of planes, as well as a radio station and weather observa- tory. Electric power enables six propel- lers to help move the seadrome into position and can serve to keep it where it gelorgs even if .the 1,000 - ton anchors should fail. They also are used to keep the runway headed into the wind, anessential factor for airplane landings and take -offs Three such seadromes would make the flight from Washington to Cher- bourg possible in three successive 800 -mile over -ocean hops plus a Oral jonip of 800 miles — and all these :hops are short enough to be economically feasible.
