This Company has just been incorporated. L
controls the best and most improved system Of
propelling street cars by STORAGE BATTERIES
Il can be used with both the overhead or conduit
and will control patents covering these points
Everybody admits that the COMING system fol
propelling street cars Is that of the STORAGE
| BATTERY. This the Union Electric Car Com
! pany now controls. 1t is no experiment but an
absolute certainty, and il is believed that theirs
will take the place of other systems of Electric
Street Railroads now in use.
| When Electric Cars are brought to stop on
heavy, grades, great amount OF power is re
qured and is lost. By our method all that power
| is held, and used over again, consequently say
| ing is made in this direction,
II is said that so far there is no system of stor
age battery OF sufficient power to prOpel Electric
Cars successfully, which is a fact, when used by
those cars now in use, but by our system so much
less power is required to prOpel q car, that the
storage battery will do the business successfully,
| The reason is this
That by all other systems in use the machinery
required to prOpel a car is exposed TO the dust,
dirt and weather and the cogs become gritty on
account of the adhesion of fine dust and dirt
which causes a continued grinding, and hard
wear, and to grind this iron and steel requires an
immense amount of power, which Of course is so
much unnecessary waste and expense, as it is not
only taking more power to run the car, but il is
also wearing out the machinery very fast. Our
system overcomes all this, as the cogs are fitted
together with the utmost care, and are enclosed
very securely in oil chambers, in which they re-
volye and the consequence is all the wear and
tear is avoided and but a small proportion of
power is required TO run the machinery.
Arrangements are being made for putting this
system in Newport, r. l., and in Newton and
Danvers, Mass. The company furnish and fully
equip cars for any Street Railway line, and any
R. Il. Co., with fair rOadbed can at once put the
carain service on their road.
1t has been seen by many prominent and prac.
tical Street Railway men and is endorsed by
them.
