He at the same time partially ex-plained the Adkins-Lewis System, which in the opinion ofthe several leading engineers,* who have fully and quite inde-pendently investigated the system in detail, is a sound pro-position from every point of view, and which the author nowrespectfully submits is what the central area needs on the linesindicated more or less diagrammatically in Fig. 6. This equipment is a practical proposition, since there issub-sur/ace space available—notwithstanding superficial ima-ginings to the contrary. It would ensure transit, within thecentral area at a uniform f
