This Company has just been Incorporated. II
controls the best and most improved system 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
propelliDg 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 1t is believed that theirs
will take the place of other systems Of Electric
Street Railroads now in use. .-
When Electric Cars are brought to a stop on
heavy grades, a great amount OF power Is re-
quired and is lost. By our method all hatpower
Is held, and used over again, consequently say.
ing is made in this direction.
1t 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 car, that the
storage battery will do the business successfully.
The reason is this :
Thai by all other systems in use the machinery
required to prOpel a car is exposed 10 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 1t 10 not
only taking more power to run the car. but II IL
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-
yolve, and the consequence is all the wear and
tear IL avoided and but a small proportion Of
power Is required to run the machinery.
Arrangements are being made for putting this
system in Newport, X. l, and in Newton and
Danvers, Mass. The company furnish and fully
equip cars for any Street Railway line. and any
X. r. Co, with fair roadbed can at once put the
carSin service on their road.
Ithas been seen by many prominent and prac.
tcal Street Railway men and is endorsed by
A block of only 1900 shares in the Union Eec.
trio Car Co. is now offered at S15 per share.
