* Father of rocket propulsion
This 44 page newspaper has a small one column heading on the front page: "Opel Motorboat Beats Train; Speeds 58.84 Miles and Hour".
See photos for short article here. An early report on speed propulsion, very slow in today's standards.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day throughout. Light browning, otherwise good.
