The Journal Of The Engineers Club Of Philadelphia And Affiliated Societies

Excerpt from The Journal of the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia and Affiliated Societies, 1918, Vol. 35 A great many men come along with dreams - ideas not worked out. One of them came to a member of the Board and said. Why don't we electrocute the Cer man submarine? W'hy. We said, we would be very glad indeed to have. You tell us your method of doing this. Oh, he said, I have given you the idea. You are an engineer. You work it out. Another has dreams of projecting wireless waves out over the country - electrocute everything: put them to sleep by wireless waves. H e does not tell us how he has not gotten so far; but he will divulge it if you will send somebody to him and tell nobody else about it.
