Patent US-1899-630250
THIS IS AN ELEVATED RAILWAY, BUT IT SPECIFICALLY INVOLVES BALLOONS, AND THE USE OF "TUBES", FACILITATING, AMONG OTHER THINGS, SWTITCHING OF CAR BETWEEN LINES.
This inventor seems to be distinct from and not to be confused with Antoine-Charles Mary; there could be a relation.
James L. Norris is an attorney signing on the diagrams, and there are "witnesses", also signing on the diagrams, distinct from the gentlemen with names mentioned within the text. It seems proper to treat attorneys, per se, featured solely in the context of diagrams as distinct from registered per se patent agents. Some of these protocols seem to be peculiarly American.
"traction" continues to be of note, as a variant on propulsion.
These diagrams match those of Patent HU-1899-15514. This patent gives the name order "Charles Antoine Mary". Patent FR-1899-284713 which gives only the surname "Mary", uses the phrase "Train aérostat", and hase been associated with Antoine-Charles Mary, which name order has been verified elsewhere. If this is, in fact, a mere elevated railway, facilitated by balloons, that would be a rare use of "aérostat". If these are all the same, then we would have a tidy French parent patent relative to a patent family initiated by a French inventor
