Turbine Engines Used to, Drive Ma

Charles. F. Hidden of San Francisco,
a machinist and formerly sailor. has
invented an automobile which, he de-
clares. has travelled on water as sue
cessfuily as on land He calls it the
autodrumbile.
It's Inventor is sanguine that it will
revolutionize methods of life saving ut
sea and also become popular pleasure
craft. Hidden says he gave his ma
chine its first trial on the Tientsin
river. China, when he was stationed
there with the United States navy.
Then he returned to San Francisco
and again tried his invention on Lake
Merritt. across the bay. A few weeks
ago he went for a spin in it on Spreck-
els lake. Golden Gate park. and the
other day he took to the water with it
at Harbor View and padded around
the bay.
Two turbine engines drive the craft
and. according to Hidden. propel it on
land and water with surprising speed.
1t has power on both wheel shafts and
in the water is sent along by twelve
propeller blades.
