An Electric street Car.

Holding that on electrically worked tram
ways the motor should be in the car itself and
not us an Independent engine, Mr.. Jarman has
devised Car on this principle, his ideas being
embodied in Il working model. In this car the
motor is placed under the vehicle, between the
aXles, and does not interfere with the present
construction OF the car. Tue main feature Of
the invention is the prevention OF excessive
heating, which end is attained by means OF two
armatureS fitted on one axle. One of these
armatures drives the Car in one direction and
the other propeiS it III the opposite direction SO
that each arrnature has lime to cool down
should 1t become heated. The motor is to be
driven from battery of sixty cells placed
underneath the seats OF the Car, and IL is stated
that the weight oil tine whole mechanism, in
GLIDING the battery, will be only Two and u half
tons Tor a Il iOrty-slX passenger car. The cells
are to lie charged Ut u station, anu as those in
use are exhausted they are to be removed from
The car and replaced by ireSn ones. The motor
Is reversed by the action OF a simple lever, the
whole arrangement being quite practicable as
lar AS Shown by the mOdeI, which ran at u good
speed on IA traIuway laid with sharp curves and
IL steep gradient. 1t is proposed to light the
tram-car by electricity taken from the supply
used Tor driving it.
