Abstract
ABOUT twenty years ago I was in the habit of speaking with Prof. Ayrton and other friends about a scheme which might increase ten-fold the carrying capacity of the Underground Railway. I prepared a letter for the Times newspaper about two years ago, but at the earnest entreaty of a friend I applied for patent protection for the scheme, and did not publish the letter. I have not proceeded with the patent, and wish now that I had published the letter. Indeed, I wish that, instead of merely talking the matter over with friends twenty years ago, I had published what I had to say.
