3 1 6 JET.TENGINES CLEAR THAMES OP MUD A cascade of water goes up from the river Thames as mud is blasted away from the river bed by a jet engine, blowing about 40 lbs. of air a second. By this method it is hoped to do away with the slow dredging system of keeping the Thames clear of mud to allow ships to sail farther up the river. The jet engipe, an early model airplane type, blows air into the water, disturbs the mud which is carried away by the river current. a B ' H B E j B B, B. B B B a B ! v..
