PUSH INVENTION
Glasgow Men Will Finance Coop

NEW TYPE TURBINE ENGINE
Invention of Glasgow Man Promises
to Revolutionize Power Applica-
tion Throughout the World.


The Directors of the Cooper I'M
pulse Motor Company will hold a
meeting in the Commercial Club
rooms on Friday evening to take up
some matters pertaining to the COM
pletion of designs of parts of the en-
gine. This work is being rapidly
pushed forward and it will only be
short time until all working draw
ings are ready for the model work.
Interest in this invention of a new
phase gas turbine engine has de-
veloped to a high degree, not only
locally where Mr.. Cooper, the invent
Or, is we'll known, but throughout the
entire engineering world. Many in
quiries have been received by Mr..
Cooper as to the application of the
gas turbine engine for general use in
automobiles, flying machines, SUBJ
marines and many other ways. The
engineering world has reached the de-
cision that the present type engine
has reached it's limit in power and ca
pacity, and is searching for some new
method of applying power in more
constant pressure cycle. This means
the experts of the world are watch
ing for the production of a new me-
thod to meet the demand, and as a
consequence the Cooper Turbine is
attracting to itself especial attention.
Mr.. Cooper has devoted many years
to the study of the scientific appli-
cations of the principles which he has
incorporated in the working parts of
the turbine engine. He has now ar
rived at a point where he has been
able to place on papr, correct draw
ings of these ideas. They were SUBJ
mitted last December to Mum & Co.,
publishers of the Scientific American,
who have handled more patents than
any other patent attorneys in the
United States, and men who have the
best technical knowledge of machine
construction. They have been en-
ployed to attend to the securing of
patents covering the principle of the
, turbine gas engine and have advised
, Mr.. Cooper to proceed with the per-
, fecting of this new idea.
Last week Mr.. G.. H. Montfort, an
expert mechanical engineer and
craftsman, who has had wide expert
ence in the biggest eastern manufac-
turing plants, was secured for the pur-
pose of drawing a set of designs for
use in making the working model of
, the gas turbine He expects to have
them ready within short time, when
they will be forwarded to Detroit
where the engine will be built.
The principle feature of the Coop
er Gas Engine comprises an internal
combustion engine, built upon the tur-
bine principle, with perfect balanced
power, offering the greatest etficien-
! cy with extreme economy is fuel cost,
with largest percentage of energy
produced or developed in the power
t world.
The Cooper Impulse Motor Com
pany was organized for the purpose
of developing and manufacturing the
n turbine engine. 1t is planned to sell
r sufficient quantity of the capital
f stock to realize funds enough with
i. which to build gas turbine engine
S and to enable the company to make
9 practical experiments to prove the
n practicability of the engine beyond all
l. possible doubt. To this end a block
d of 10000 shares have been set aside
s to be sold at fifty cents per share.
S The par value of this stock is one
n dollar and as soon as the first block
o has been disposed of, the par value
e will be maintained. large per-
n centage of stock has been subscribed
l. already by friends of Mr.. Cooper who
s. have faith in the turbine engine and
It it is expected that within sixty days
the balance will be taken up.
er This appears to be a reliable and
2, safe investment for those desiring
if to invest small amount of money
he 1t may not develop into anything OK
,e tremely valuable, yet it is to be re-
membered that stock in many well
f. known companies that is now worth
I'd thousands of dollars was first sole
to at a great deal lower figure than is
now asked for by the Cooper Impulse
st Motor Co. Who knows but that {
ly Glasgow citizen may furnish the wa!
e. to revolutionize the application o.
r power in driving force and make him
self, as we'll as this city, famous.
