Vandals from the Moon by - Marius:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas
"HERE is a different Moon story — a powerful story, which will hold your interest to the end. In this narration, the author brings forth a new means of terrestrial traction that may prove prophetic. We know of no large mechanical vehicle that advances with a snake-like motion at the present time. Anyone who has seen a snake crawl over the ground rapidly, must have wondered how the snake does it. Yet none of our engineers have ever thought of duplicating the snake motion for propelling a heavy body. To us, it looks rather plausible, and certainly for war purposes it would probably be the ideal thing."
