friendly toward DR.. OMAN"
De PAW is a Methodist school

PARKING DEVICE
SPACE SAVER
Invention Used Success
fully for Several Months.

By Science Service
EAST PITTSBURGH, Pa, April
21.-One hundred forty-four auto
mobiles are parked in the space Or
dinarily required for II in new
automatic parking building which
has been in successful operation for
several months at an industrial plant
here. The present structure is the
outgrowth of an experimental ma
chine that parked a smaller number
Of cars.
Each automobile is run into an
individual cage, one of a series that
is carried on two endless chains
over spocket wheels at the bottom
and top of the parking building in
the manner of a conveyor. When a
cage is called to the driveway level
by means of key, the machine au-
tomatically selects the shortest route
and an electric motor moves the
cage at 100 feet a minute.
