who tried to break into the railway
car Invented by George w. Meyers OF
the United States army and described
in the Popular Science Monthly. They
would be greeted with clouds Of poi.
sonous gas fumes.
Meyers robber-proof car works with
extreme simplicity. Two tanks, liz
which fumes of cyanide of potassium
are stored, under pressure, are fitted
inside the car at each end. These are
connected with a perforated pipe which
extends all around the door of the
car, just in back of the outer frame

the locomotive engineer would tele
phone the guards within the car, who
would Immediately open the valves
of the tank. The fumes would stream
out through the pipe perforations and
into the robbers faces. The door be.
ing gas-tight, the deadly gas could moi
penetrate the car.
