PARIS, French, 15 November, transcript.

 

The “Daily Sketch” reports that the first automobile powered by atomic energy rode across London yesterday. The engine, operating on atomic energy, is supposedly enclosed in a metal cylinder 8 cm in diameter and placed inside the automobile. Naval vessels and aircraft can move on the same principle. The inventor, one Wilson, has heretofore been unknown to the public. His project is being subjected to close study in the Ministry of Fuel and Energy right now.
