THE HORSElESS CARRIAGE,
An Undoubted Success Many Advantages
OF the Electric Motor.

An Undoubted Success Many Advantage
OF the Electric Motor.
The many trials of this modern con-
trivance, which undeniably prove that
u horseless carriage can be built. have
produced All intense degree of activity
among inventors and manufacturers
Already number of establishment
have been equipped for the regular out
put of the new luxury, as it may as yet
be termed Already the vehicles in va
rious forms are III daily practical use.
A careful review of the work SO far
done-and it has been great-points to
the adoption Of the storage battery with
its accompanying electric motor as be-
ing by far the best adapted to the re
quirements. Apart from the perfect
ease of manipulation the electric car
riage possesses the great merits of being
clean, free from smoke, steam, hot gas
es and reciprocating parts. The motion
is smooth and uniform, which is virtual
ly impossible with any known type of
engine motor No special skill is re-
CURED in taking care of the electric car
riage.
The makers of storage batteries have
met the question squarely with their
900 pound batteries, and we may ex-
pect to have four wheel vehicle weigh
ing complete not over 1900 pounds
when ready for service. When we con-
slider that the ordinary four wheeler
with two horses weighs far more than
this and occupies twice the room on
the roadway, we can appreciate some of
the results OH our crowded thorough
fares from the point of view OF pave
ment wear and convenience of travel.
Applied to both passenger vehicles
and freight trucks, it means that with
the general adoption of the new motor
our streets will be only half as crowded
as they are, and the aggravating clatter
of hoofs will be eliminated, with all the
attendant olfactory evils of cab and
truck stands and nervous beasts
Runaways and their dangers will no
longer alarm the people, crossings will
be respected more, and pedestrians will
have some chance of safety and seren-
ity.
All this, we predict, will come to
pass, and the forerunners are now to be
seen. Electrical Review.
