Mechanics for young America; how to build boats, water motors, wind mills, searchlight, electric burglar alarm, ice boat ..etc.; the directions are plain and completeReprinted from Popular mechanics . see that the driving chainpasses from the sprocket driver L of thebicycle frame to the place downward be-tween the slits in the platform to the drivensprocket on the shaft between the two barrels. Thus a center drive is made. Therear barrels are fitted with paddles as at M,consisting of four pieces of board nailedand cleated about the circumference of thebarrels, as shown in Fig. 1. The new craft is now ready for a firstvoyage. To propel it, seat yourself on thebicycle seat, feet on the pedals, just as youwould were you on a bicycle out in thestreet. The steering is effected by simplybending the body to the right or left, whichcauses the craft to dip to the inclined sideand the affair turns in the dipped speed is slow at first, but increases asthe force is generated and as one becomesfamiliar with the working of the is no danger, as the airtight bar-rels cannot possibly sink. Another mode of putting together the setof barrels, using one large one in the rear.
