COL. pAINE,s USE OF WASTE POWER
Idle Friction on tho ISig Bridgo Made to Per
form tho Work Of Locomotives.


The auxiliary cable by which the Brooklyn
Bridge cars are switched at the New York end
OF the new railroad Is in one respect unique.
1t represents waste power utilized in a very in
eenious mannor. Tho great cable to which tho
cars cling moves at the rate OF ten miles IN
hour toward Now York. and. sinking below the
track at the depot, passes over one big wheel.
and under another big wheel. and so tho turn
that sends II over to tho other track and back
again to Brooslyn is given to 1t. Therc Is OF
course strain upon these big wheels. and every
ounce OF thut strain Is so much power. 1t was
found that there was not room in tho New York
depot for locomotives. and vet switching had to
bs done there every time IA car came in Col
Roebling said to Col. Paine. wish you could
utilize the power In those wheels"
guess can" said Col. Paine. He set about
it, and the result is the auxiliary cable.
He attached on tho axle Of each big wheel an
tho revolving axle does not turn tho drum. He
then fitted to the axle outside the drum Q, cap
or plate of steel made to exactly ht the side OF
the drum yet not placed directly against Its
side. He so arranged this that the plate and
the drum could be brought together. The fric-
tion OF the revolving plate. which locks into the
axle. imparts motion to the drum. and the aux
iiary cable which Is wound around the drum
acquires movement and power by the simple
throwing OF a lever. A little grip car fastened
to tho auxiliary cable switches the passenger
coaches automatically.
