Detail in photgraph of a model of Track on the Bottom Monorail Half.

Caption;-
Schilowsky's Monorail Car.

Extract from Chapter V;-
73. Another ingenious application of the gyroscope to a monorail car
has lately (Feb., 1914) been made by Monsieur Schilowsky, a Russian
inventor.....

So far as experiments have gone at present the weight of the gyroscope
is designed to be something between 1/10th and 1/25th of the whole
weight of the car, while the two pendulums together are about 1/3rd
of the weight of the gyroscope.

The author is indebted to M. Schilosky both for the diagrams and the
photograph from which plate IV has been made. A model of the car has
been presented by the inventor to the Science Museum at South
Kensington and can be viewed by the public at anytime. An article
on this monorail is to be found in the issue of The Engineer
for January 23, 1914.

Big Bertha Thing filter

On sci.astro I just had a look at Xnews killfile.(14/7/01)
There are one or two problems.
1. Free NNTP server access is a Warez activity.
2. PGP probably has a CIA back door.
3. Bertha subject filter will be valid for the duration.
4. NTK.net suggests killfile needs to be too big.
5. 301 files most wanted list is represented by precious few.
6. Killfile is part of the problem, not the solution.
7. NTK.net advocates invitation only filter.
8. NTK.net regrets the victims whose innocent postings are deleted.
9. Xnews is free and written by Luu Tran. (news.software.readers)
10. Filter is two-edged sword. (censorship and persecution)
11. Linux type collaboration is worst case scenario.
12. For solution see Big Bertha Thing format,as follows:-
