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

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.

Guilty as charged, I should not have done any of the following;-
1. defended you in the mods conf.
2. given you an invitation, when the dogs were at the door.
3. offered a refuge for the explosion survivors.
4. ticked off the mods.
5. put your name up in lights on OUSA Astronomy and Astronomy and Space.
6. Put back the release of my software package, just because of the troubles.
Personally I would take me out and shoot me, there is no punishment too bad for
any mod, who gets even one complaint. We should be above reproach,
like Caesers' wife.
I will of course remove the words 'Extract to explain the project to Philip Sims'
from all further postings.
Please accept my appologies for all the bad things I did,
before your elevation to mod. I only pick on little people.
Thank you,
Tony Lance.
