This Company has just been incorporate
1t controls the best and most improved sys-
tenn of propelling street cars by STORAGE
| BATTERIES; it can be used with both the
| overhead or conduit, and will control pa tents
covering these points. Everybody admits
that the COMING system for propeliing street
| This the Union Electric Car company now
| controls. 1t is no experiment, but an abso-
| lutte certainty, and it is believed that theirs
| viii take the place of all other systems of
Electric Street Railroads now in use.
When electric cars are brought to a stop on
required and is lost. BY our method all that
power is held, and used over again, conse-
quently a saving is made in this direction.
1t is said that far there is no system of
storage 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 car that the storage battery will do
the business successfully. The reason is this:
That by all other systems in the ma
chinery required to propel car is exposed to
the dust, dirt and weather and the cogs be-
come gritty on account of the adhesion of
fine dust and dirt, which causes a continued
grinding, and hard wear and to grind this
iron or steel requires immense amount of
power, which of course is much unneceSSa-
ry waste and expense, as 1t is not only taking
more power to the car, but it is also
wearing out the machinery very fast Our
system overcomeS all this the cogS
fitted together with the utmost care, and are
enclosed very securely in oil chambers. in
which they revolve, and the consequence is all
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. r. Co with a fair roadbed
can at once put the cars in service their
road.
1t has been seen by many prominent and
practical Street Railway men and is endorsed
by them.
