A MOTOR car that walks up and
~ down hills without the slightest
inconvenience to passengers has
been shown to be practical in tests in
Berlin.
The car is declared to be superior to
ordinary cars with wheels for use in
rough country. The German army is
now experimenting with the car with a
view to using it for transporting am
munition and supplies to the front.
Instead of wheels the car has three
parallel pairs of runners, like those of
huge bob-sleds, except that the runners
are movable.
When the motor is started one pair
Of runners moves forward, then is fol-
lowed by the second and the third and
so on. The action of the runners is so
arranged that the car is always resting
on two pairs of runners. The motion
is said to be very smooth, without Jars
and noise.
