Gas turbine engine invented by naval officer at Dallas
Commander Walter Bull of the Dallas navy recruiting district and former chief machinist in the Navy perfected a new gas turbine engine. A New York tested model proved successful and the Navy will receive the plug and patents after minor refinements. The device promises far greater power-to-weight and may operate without lubricating oil, with collaboration from James J. Gooey and specialist engineers.
