B. & M.'s Gadget

The gadget in a railroad official's office car which is most likely to get out of order is the speedometer, whose clock face is usually perched just above and in front of the official as he sits in his accustomed chair before the starboard rear observation window. Nevertheless, last week the Boston & Maine joined the current race to lure passengers with gimcracks when it installed a speedometer in the solarium of its crack, streamlined Flying Yankee. Developed by Waltham Watch Co., the instrument is actuated by a small electric generator connected to the car wheels. If it works without too much tinkering, pleases the public, B. & M. plans to install one in each de luxe day-coach on all through trains so that passengers can not only look at the scenery but satisfy their curiosity as to how fast they are going past it.
