Ralph Lucas, chief engineer for the United States Industries and De velopment company, Elmira,'N. Y., said the locomotive would be fitted with a mercury turbine employing a formula for disintegration of mer cury and steel atoms. He said "One teacupful of the mercury atoms, exploded, would run a locomotive, pulling 120 freight cars, for 45 round trips between New York and San Francisco.” Formula Patented.
