Around this monster engine wuz electric head-lights throwin' dazzlin' beams in every direction.
The hull thing well named, the Spirit of the Twentieth Century.
And all 'round it wuz grouped models showing the development of the inventor's dream from the first rough effort at an engine up to the most perfect specimen of to-day.
All sorts of electrical railways, freight and work cars, tracks, switches, signals, carriages, ortomobiles, motor vehicles, naval architecture, models, boats, steamships, men-of-war, battleships of the line. Exhibits of all sorts, illustrating inland transportation in India, France, Germany, Switzerland, Spain and every other foreign country.
You could see to once that there wuz ways enough to travel, and if you stayed to home it wuz your own fault. Well, we went from there to Machinery Buildin', that bein' writ down next on my pad.
