operation to other fields of locomo- ton.
 No other facts were obtainable than the machine runs on electrical magnetism as applied to the rotary motion of the earth. It is in no sense connected with perpetual motion idea. although recent tests have proved 1t will run for long per- iods.
 1900 Revolutions . Minute
 "On the test blocks yesterday it wss learned the motor turned up l.teo revolutions per minute. It would run at this rate for between 1000 and 5000 hours before 1t be- came necessary to recharge the mag net center"
 Peat. according to word from Pittsburgh. IS field manager of the Bettis Airport at McKeesport. Penn. Little was revealed regarding Hen dershot.
 Major 14anphier, Col. Lindbergh, Peat, Hendershot and group of leaders of the aircraft industry from St. Louis planned 10 take off today for an unannounced destination.
 Planes Arc Roady
 Mechanics at Selfridge field were ordered last night to fuel Col. Lind bergh's Ryan monoplane and Major l.anphier's pursuit ship for an early morning flight. An army plane sent here to convey Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, mother of the trans- atlantic tlier to Boston where she Is to attend the meeting Monday of the National Education association, also was fueled last night.
 The sudden and unheralded des- cent upon Detroit of several per sons actively interested in aircraft developments may have been due to the tests of the new motor.
 Peat and Hendershot. arrived un- heralded. Lindbergh likewise de- parted from tho air unannounced late Wednesday. With him were H. M. Bixby. president of the St. Louis chamber of commerce, Harry K. Knight, president of the St. Louis Flying club: Frank H. Robertson, head of the Robertson Air Mail Con- tracting company. and B. F. Ma honey. president of the Ryan Air lines.
 Major Lanphier, who had been in Buffalo. came in an airplane a few minute after the arrival of the IASdbergh party.
 The group together with some un- Identified civilians, immediately went into a closed conference that lasted most of the night. Early the next morning they went to the Ford afr port where they were closeted with Edsel Ford and members of the Stout Airways corporation. The con- fcrees then returned to Selfridge field where they since have remained.
 Daniel Guggenheim. reached by phone early today at hts home at Sand Point. Long Island. referred all inquiries regarding the invention to his brother William, who. he said. was in Los Angeles.
 It is understood here that only an experimental model of the motor has been constructed.
 William E. Stout, president Of the Stout Air Service Inc. and de- signer of the all.metal type of trans-, port planes built by the Ford Motor company said he saw Hcndershot's model in operation in Pittsburgh three weeks ago.
 "The demonstration was very im- pressive," ho said. Tt was actually uncanny. would like very much to see how q large model. designed to develop power enough to Nft an airplane. would operate.
 Stout said the model he saw was about the size of motors. used to operate vacuum cleaners and sewing machines and was similar in ap- pearance to any small electrical motor. ''I was told. he said. that tho revolutionary feature WAS hitherto unknown manner Of wind ing armaturs. Hendershot said he
