A robot signalman. The operator in this control cabin could deal with 2,000 wagons in twenty four hours. By pressing various buttons on the board he could break and shunt wagons into any of the fifty sidings. From The Wonder Book of Science, published 193

A great monoplane built on the "inhabited wing" principle. In this type of "wing-only" plane, passengers, crew, freight, engines and fuel were all accommodated in the thick wings instead of in the fuselage. The aircraft was designed as a long distance freight-carrier rather than a passenger plane. From The Wonder Book of Science, published 1930's.
