ton is pressed--then CHASTITY destruc-
ton.
From the shipping point in Eu-
rope, the men of the Land Torpedo
Corps" could each ride an automo-
bile directly up TO the front, thus re-
lieving the railroads of the burden.
Here the torpedo charges could he
mounted, tests could be made, and
everything could be planned for q
concerted assault.
To launch the torpedoes on this
drive, competent officers would have
to set and lock the steering gears.
Throwing open clutch from the
rear OF the machine, the AUTOMOBILE
leaps ahead audaciously. The vital
parts being armored, the enemy will
be unable to damage it severely when
the machine is seen to be rushing to-
ward them at some 60 miles an hour.
Closely resembling this land tor
pedo is the torpedo car, described by
a writer in Popular Science Monthly
II. too, is designed to take the place
Of artillery in preparing the way for
infantry attack. A torpedo carry
ing several hundred pounds of high
explosive is mounted on a chassis.
The propelling power may be eth
er gas, steam, compressed air or a
storage battery or electric motor. Its
most important feature concerns the
method by which il is guided and fir
ed. This is done by means OF ca
bles and wires in the hands of the
attacking party, which is a notewor-
thy advantage over the land torpedo.
Furthermore, the torpedo car, should
it not reach the enemy because of
rough ground, can be drawn back to
the trench from which it was start
ed by simple pull on the control
cable.
The torpedo car would cost about
81, 900, whereas the modern naval
torpedo costs $1,000.
