These advantages must be fully apparent to any engineer. He would like to translate in a few words what Mr. Kearney's system meant in terms of money, which, again, meant terms of energy. There were some millions of men and women coming into and going out of London every day. If those people could be saved a quarter of an hour on their journey it would come to about four million man - hours per day. And if a man - hour were priced the same as that for
