Summary

Description
English: An article about a boy's invention of a "boy's street boat", equipped with a sail and using wheels from a discarded baby carriage, and shoe roller skate trucks on the rear.

With front and rear wheels oiled well, and a brisk breeze blowing, he can travel at a 20 mile-per-hour clip without much difficulty, despite the crude construction of the vehicle. The name of this conveyance is the "windmobile" which is at least as happy as the names of apartment houses and Pullman cars.
