! NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 19z8. 9 i Two Date Back All five of the inventions, two dut- ing back to the last century, depend | for their power on clectricity extracts ed from the air or the e and each is claimed to operate without fucl or batteries. Experts at the patent office he- lleve the devices to be commercially | valueless and impracticable. | Patents could not be obtaincd on them today as inventors are now re- quired to demonstrate the feasibilii as well as the novelty of their br: children. The first apparatus of this type was patented a year before the Civil | ‘War, 1860, by H. C. Vion, a resident | of Paris, who wanted to protect his tnvention in this country. Vion's fdea was 1o extract elee- teicity from the clouds and also from the earth by means of a cap- | tive balloon and a wire conductor. | His {nvention was derived from Bei Jamin Franklin's electrical experi- | ments with a kite and a key. Posi- tive electricity from the atmosphers was to be united with negative cur- rents from the ground in Vion's ap- | paratus “thus forming an electrical | plle of consicerable power.” This invention was later improved upon by a Philadelphian, Willlam L. Pennock, who in 1809 obtained 2 patent on a similar device to cap- | ture elecricity from the clouds and | carry it through wires to an “energy | sccumulator.” Pennock later took | out a second patent covering a modi fled apparatus based on the saw principle. By bis invention, Pennock asserted he could tranaform the electrici. or- | dinarily dissipated as lightning into | usable power. Hc proposed to do! this by transmitting the energy from the rare upper strata of the atmos- phere to the earth's surface where it | was 10 be storcd for usc. { Another W Still another method of extracting electricity from the alr was patent- ed in 1901 by A. Palenscar, of Bud pest, Hungary, who proposed to re- Icase energy by condensing water droplets in the air. He submitted sketches of an elaborate arrange- ment to “step down™ the power thus generated. One of the most schemes was patented William H. Ward, of Auburn, who proposed a plan whereby clec tricity in the air was to be projected from one fall tower to another. Theso | towers were supposed to drow the | electricity from the surrounding at- | mosphere and then release it in the gdirection of the prevailing winds, whel vere to carry the energy o other towers, thus seiting up a sys- | tem of eleetrical communication dis- | tantly akin to modern radio. “Ruch fnventions, which depend on | atmospheric clectricity for their power, are commercially worthless because they cannot be relied upon to provide an ample supply of power | at the particular time it is needed,” | said H. G. Harris, assistant exam- | ner. | “The amount of electricity in the air varies considerably, there being | & greater quantity during a storm | than at any other time, and no con- stant source of power would be avail- able. The cost of these inventions would far exceed any power they might give. They are simply ridicu- lous in the light of modern knowl- MERGER OF MJLLIONS NOW 1S CALLED OFF | Youngstown Sheet & Tubc Co. and | Inland Steel Co. Not To Be Com- bined.

I'm mighty glad my grocer got me to try Rinso. Why, Rinso actually soaks out the dirt and stains! There's no hard work for me at all. Even the most soiled things come from the soaking nice and white. 1 don’t even bother about boiling any more—Rinso cleans and whitens so wonderfully without boiling. I never knew that soap alone could do so much, not until I tried Rinso! It saves the clothes—and my hands, too. And what 1 like about this safe granulated soap is that a very little of it makes a tubful of thick, ereamy suds. Real suds that make the water soft and soapy all through. ‘Why don’t you ask your grocer for The eranulated that sonke clothos whiter.

But within each powerful motor, a fusillade of explosions ... 6830 per minute . . . over 156 million during the run. Pistons plunged up and down with lightning rapidity— more than 104 million strokes. Valves, red-hot, opening and closing 1,100 times each minute . . . more than 26 mil- lion times during the 25,000 miles. And all this in a rag- ing inferno of flaming gases! Never had a motor been called upon to stand such an ordeal. Never had man or machine traveled so far so fast. Stock Models—Certified by A. 4. 4. And these were not cars specially built for prodigious feats of speed, but strictly stock, fully-equipped Studebaker Commanders alike in every detail to thosc driven by owners all over the country. The run was made under the supervision of American Automobile Association officials. After the finish, they tore down each car, examined it minutely and certified cach to be a strictly stock model. For one car to maintain such speed for sixteen days and nighgs would be a profound tribute to the engineer- ing genius behind it. But, for three Commanders cach to travel 25,000 miles at better than a mile-a-minute, proves beyond all question that The Commander is the World’s Champion Car! Toyou, thefact that The Commander holdsall the highest official endurance and speed records for fully equipped stock cars, regardless of power or price, is highly significant. Not only can The Commander travel at high sustained speed, but it can stand the hardest driving and still re- tain its youth for thousands and thousands of miles. Only engineering genius, combined with the finest materials and workmanship, could produce a car of such endurance. Drive The Commander today and experience the thrill of the lithe, untiring power that made it the World’s Champion Car. Just telephone and say when and where.
