Elevated Road Hangs in Air

To relieve the cOngested traffic
conditions in Berlin, Germany, it
is proposed to erect a monOrail
suspended electric railway, such
as has been for some time in sue
cessful operation between Eber-
fold and Bremen, Germany, writes
DIR. Alfred Gradenwitz in Tech.
meal World Magazine. The pas.
senger cars in this system hang
down from a single overhead rail
and have no support whatever un.
derneath. Advantages of the
system are its perfect safety, the
fact that the superstructure is
comparatively simple and does
not shut out the light or air as
does an ordinary elevated struc-
ture, and the further fact that in
operation the mOnorail cars are
almost completely nOiseless. 1t
seems probable that the mOnorail
suspended system will be adopted
in the German capital.
