Most persons who use the word ''trol-
ley' probably do not know the orig of
e. = {. rm, or why this name was given
to that apparatus by which the el ctriciy
10 conveyed from an aerial wire. Twenty
years ago the world WAS usei to
desigDat "a form of truck which can bt
tilted. for cnrryi railroad ma eri,ls or
the like" This IL the only definition OF
the " ord in Webster's dictionary ~ the
edition OF 1s4S. In the edition OF 1892 of
the sa work. hree other ueiui-
tions are added. 1. "A ma row
cart that Is pushed by hand OF drawn
by Az animal" 1t Is noted that
this mea ing of the word is IN use la
England, not In the United States. q
"a truck from which the load is sus-
pc ded on some kind OF cranes" This
meaning is technical. according
to Webster, aud employed only
In speaking Of machinery. 3. "(Electric
Railway.) A truck which travels
along the fixed conductors and forms n
means OF connection between them and a
railway car" IL IL easy to see ho y the
pri tive form Of the electro trolley.
