by electric power But instead of electric motors in
the car an ingenious new method would be used.
Electric induction motors as we're used to
them are circular with an armature whizzng around

such motor so that the armature (miles of it)
would lie in the trough while the coils would be
attached to the underside Of the car. The only
attachment between coils and armature would be
the magnetism which zps the car along its trough.
The English call this ''linear" motor.

Unlike the HOvercar, the Levairain is to be
supported on smooth metal rails embraced top and

on an air film only an eighth of an inch thick

this is more economical use of air and power.

the Texans have been picked by
