Electric Tube
To Speed Mail,
Inventor Says
Postoffice Department 1nves.
tigates Carrier Which In
ventor Claims Can Be In.
stalled All Over Country.

New York, June lS.-A mode OF
transportation has been developed
which will, in point of speed, affect
the commerce of the United States
as radically as did the practical ap-
plication of steam to water transpor-
tation, according to claims by the in
ventor.
The new plan, which is known as
the Canton Transmission System, has
been demonstrated by the inventor,
Allen A. Canton, a New York cleo
trical engineer, who would supplant
the pneumatic tube by applying elec-
tricity as the main motive power.
Canton proposes the construction
of electric tubes four feet in dia-
meter, which will be laid just below
the surface along the right of way
of the main railroad lines of the
country. Through this tube. carriers,
nine feet in length and built OF steel
will be operated and used for carry
ing mail, express and freight.
Given to Hays.
The new system whose merits have
been presented to transcontinental
railway arrangements, was laid be-
fore Postmaster General Hays by the
inventor recently and is now under
advisement for the rapid transmission
of mail and parcel post. One of the
measures to be urged in the present
session of congress will be the adop-
ton of such a plan.
The postal pneumatic tube system
Omaha daily bee., 1921-06-19

had its first installation in Philadel-
phia in 1898. New York got its first
tubes in 1898, and it was followed by
Boston, Chicago and St. Louis. How
ever, it is generally known that the
pneumatic form of transportation has
many disadvantages, and among
them are the very high cost OF in
stallation. Then, again, the pneu-
matte system operates at only short
distances and one carrier in trans
mission occupies the entire plant
until it has passed through. 1t re-
quires very large and expensive
pumping stations, and because of the
fact that the carriers must fit snugly
in the tubes, the speed is limited and
the carriers often stick in the tubes.
necessitating expensive repairs and
delay.
Five-Ton Capacity.
Describing his plan in an interview,
Inventor Canton said:
"The carriers are nine feet in
length and are made of steel, with a
capacity of FIVE tons, and can be
transmitted singly or coupled togeth-
er in trainloads Of from 10 to SO car
riers. The first carrier has lock
switches on it, which are set for any
particular station, and as it reaches
that station it is automatically
switched from the main line on to its
destination.
There is one rail used for keeping
the carrier in position and two small
Ter rails for carrying the necessary
current. Snowstorms and electrical
disturbances have no effect on this
system, which offers at the present
time the best solution to the problem
of perishable freight"
Coast-to-Coast Tube.
Canton is one of the developers Of
what is known as the half-watt lamp,
now in use throughout the world,
and is the original inventor of the
wireless telautograph," used in most
navies. He also invented the null
tip1e unit control system for trains,
parts of which are in use on every
electric railway in the country.
It is Canton's belief that tube can
