This Company has just been incorporated.
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 patents
covering these points. Everybody admits
that the COMING system for propelling street
e ears is that of the STORAGE BATTERY.
This the Union Electric Car company now
controls. 1t is no experiment, but 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 again. conse-
quently saving is made in this direction.
1t is said that so far there is system of
storage battery of sufficient power to propel
Electric Cars successfully, which is fact,
when used by those cars now in use, but by
our system, so much less power is required to
propel a car that the storage battery will do
the business successfully. The reason is this
That by all other systems in use the ma
ch1nery required to propel n car is exposed to
the dust, dirt and weather and the cogs be
come gritty on account of the adhesion of
hne dust and dirt, which causes a continued
grinding, and hard wear, and to grind this
iron or steel requires an immense amount of
power, which of course is so much unnecessa-
ry waste and expense as it is not only taking
more power to run 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
the wear and tear is avoided and but a small
proportion of power is required to 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. X. Co. with a fair roadbed
road.
1t has been seen by many prominent and
practical Street Railway men and is endorsed
