A disastrous result attended a trial the
Ellithorpe safety air-cussion at the Paker

frame Of the doar and the door itself lead
ing into the hall, were burst out by the
tremendous pressure of the confined air, and
the car brought up at the bottom of the we'll
with a terrific crash. All the occupants
