RUSSIAN INVENTION
RAVEL, Esthonia, July 12.—Newspapers published in Moscow and other Soviet Russian cities give much space now to accounts of new inventions said to have been made under auspices of the Bolshevik government. Among them are reported vastly improved wireless telephone apparatus and, most recently, an "aero-train," to run on rails.
The "aerotrain," to be tried out on August 5 next, according to present plans, is the invention of the engineer, Makhonin.
Its propulsive power will be propellers, similar to those used on airplanes, to be worked by two internal combustion engines. The front part of the train is to have a tapering shape, to gain greater speed through decreased resistance to the air.
