Atlantic liner on eight rollers proposed by Bazin
French engineer M Bazin proposes an Atlantic liner built on eight rollers to gain higher speed. The vessel would roll rather than glide, with rollers entering water 28 feet deep and platforms 60 feet above water. Plans call for a 400 foot long ship with 74 foot diameter rollers making 22 revolutions per minute to reach unprecedented speeds.
