speed would mean the destruction of
the engine. He admitted that the pow
er for making such speed is at hand,
whether it be electricity, steam, air and
oil combined, or compressed air and
electricity. He said, however, that the
machinery has not yet been invented
which can endure the fearful strain of
such . speed ''The present difficulty"
said he, ''lies in the fact that the steam
is applied with each revolution at alter
nate ends Of the piston head. Great
power is lost In driving this steam back
and forth Some system of gearing
must be invented that will yield speed
with fewer revolutions of the wheels,
% as to do away with some of the wear
and tear of rapid running. Until that
Is accomplished even sixty miles IN
hour continuously Is out of the ques-
ton"
The question Of obtaining this result
Of slower revolution and faster speed il
confronted by one Of tho main laws Of
mechanics: ''What Is gained in speed
is lost in power" and 'in slow motion IL
