This Company has just heen incorporated. 1t
controls the best and most improved system OF
prOpelling street cars by STORAGE BATTERIES;
L can he used with both the overhead or conduit,
and will control patents covering these points
Everybody admits that the COMING system for
prupelling street cars is that Of the STORAGE
BATTERY. This the Union Electric Car Com
pany now controls. II Is no experiment but an
absolute certainty, and it is believed that theirs
will take the place Of all other systems Of Electric
Street Railroads now In use.
when electric cars arr brought to II stop on
heavy grades, great amount OF power is rtquir-
ed and IL lost By our method all that power is
held, aud used over again, consequently a saving
is made in hiS direction.
1t is said that 80 far there is no system Of
storage battery of sufficient power TO propel
Electric Cars, successfully, which is fact, when
used by those cars now In us' but 10y orr system,
so much less power II required to propel a car,
that the storage battery Will do the business sue
cessfully. The reason is this;
That by all other systems In use the machinery
required to prupel 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 or steel requires an
immense amount Of power, which Of course is So
much unnecessary waste aud expense, as II is not
only taking more power to run the car, but II Is
also wearing out the machinery very fast. Our
system OyerComes all this, as the Cugs are ntted
together with the utmost care, and are enclosed
very securely in oil chambers, in which they re-.
volve, and the consequence is az tine wear ahI
tear is avoided and hut small proportion uI
power is required to run the machinery.
Arrangements are being made for putting this
system in Newport, X. /, and in Newton and Dan
yers. Mass. The company furnish and fully equip
cars for any Street Railway line, and any X. X
Co, with "A fair riadbed can at once put the cars
IN service on their road
II has been seen by many prominent and prac
teal street railway men and Is endorsed by them
