'AIR CUSHION' COULD REVOLUTIONISE
SHIPPING COSTS
By CAROL COGHILL
Copenhagen.
AN invention, which, it is claimed, could reduce the fuel consumption of world shipping by 30 per cent, has recently been patented by a 33-year-old Danish naval architect, Mr Knud Gram.
It consists of an "air cushion" artificially created along the bettom of a ship, which serves to reduce the friction between the bull and the water.
‘ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD," EAST GERMANS TOLD
By TERENCE DAVIDSON.
