EVEN skates can
be made into
very good tanks. That
is what was done by
the youngster whose
product is shown in
connection with this
article.
Ordinary roller
skates and a few pieces
of tin were the mate-
rials. The side pieces
reach towithin a quar-
ter of an inch of the
ground, and almost
disguise the fact that the rollers of the
skates are the real rollers of the twin
tanks.
There is very much more amusement
derived from the use of tanks than
could possibly be obtained from just
plain roller skates. Anyone who has
watched the performance of the two
types will admit that this is true.
Chiefly there is the fact that the tanks
make the other boys envious.
This device, so far as we are aware,
has not been pat-
ented. Some day
youngsters like
this young in-
ventor will be
taking out pat-
ents on their in-
ventions. The
engineering edu-
cation of such
boys is only just «
beginning.
