When Fauber thought he had the hydroplane idea perfected lie built 15 models before he secured one which demonstrated the success of his theory. Each of them rose to the surface of the water under power, but as the power was Increased the bow would sink and the motors had to be shut off to prevent them from going bow first to the bottom. The sixteenth boat built along his new idea was almost the same as the others, but contained some changes. The motors were installed and the motor started. The boat darted off like a streak, so fast, its occupants hardly knew what had happened so last, in fact, they shut off the power In fright. From that day the hydroplane has been a success and models are now in existence which have attained a speed of 57 miles per hour —faster than a limited passenger train.
