FOR SOLUTION OF
CONGESTED AREAS
I'arklng Uiwers. that will bouse
ten to sixty, automobiles while oc
cupying the ground space of only
n two- ear garage, may be a solu
tion to the parking prohtt-m in
congested districts. Th:it, at least,
is the belief of an Ohio Inventor
nnd engineer who bus built one of
these towers at Suudu.-dty, hlo.
where It recently was tested for
feasibility by officials of the 1'lym
outh Motor Corporation who sent
sevtiral caiM there for that purpose.
The system on which the tower
operates Is comparable to the' sell -operailtwc
elevators whth are
widely uned' 111 apartment houses.
Th Bam pin tower contains ten
platforms upon each of which may
be driven oho car. Two of the
platforms are always ut the ground
level and when ears have len
driven on them, u button Is pushed
unit the platforms move away from
tho Kiound level by electricity and
the next two move into place. The
platforms move ns an endless belt
carrying tho cars to the top and
hack again.
To procure a cur that has been
placed In the tower, it is only
neceHxary Tor tho owner to press
tho button corresponding with the
platform upon which his car is
parked, nnd the car Immediately
moves Into place ready to be
driven away. The tower occupies
a Knmiid Hpaer of hut 4 45 suunre
feet helnh Sffi feet tonff and 17

are operated by an electric motor.
