TALKS OF SUBMARINE AUTO
Inventor Has Idea of Submersible
Which He Believes Will Prove
*o Be Wonder.
An improved submersible which
he is confident will revolutionize even
the comparatively new science of un
dersea fighting is being worked out
by Simon Lake, inventor of the even
keel submarine. Lake’s new inven
tion is nothing more nor less than a
submarine auto, a submersible craft
that will run for many miles on the
sea’s bottom. To prevent pounding
by ground swells, the wheels are sus
pended on swinging arms with a
cushioning cylinder.
One hundred of these craft on the
Atlantic coast, fifty on the Pacific
and fifty to guard our colonies and
to undertake aggressive warfare in
the enemy’s own country would be
sufficient, believes the inventor, to
render the United States impreg
nable from attack. It is Lake’s
idea that we must put our navy un
der water before an invader does it
with shot and shell.
The submarine auto would be
equipped with a diving bell, kept
free of water by compressed air, as
are caissons used in constructing the
foundations of bridges and high
buildings. From out of the bell,
divers would operate to lay mines
directly under the vessels of a hostile
fleet.
An auxiliary system of undersea
supply stations is also contemplated
in Lake’s new system of national de
fense.
