2. By Rollers and
Channels of different
degrees of
smoothness
. Velocity how

The first supposition

of friction
Ice or Iron upon ice would
come near this.

The channels will
be like the Rail
Roads

An artificial observation
for the
fliers to set out
from, and for the
rest of the company
to view them from
It must be extensive,
in order to
hold a number
of Chariots ready
to follow one another.

The Flying-path
may be ornamented
by an Avenue
of Trees on each
side

As it must be
in a strait line
(i:e: without lateral
curvature) it will
cut off communication
between the
grounds on each side
there be enclosed over or under.

In winter steam to

inside of the house.

Russian Flying Chariot

The velocity may
be regulated, by setting
off at a higher
or lower point of the

of miles an hour
may thus be predetermined
within a
mile or two. Say
from 12 to 24

Cars may be of
one, two, or four places.
