CARS hauled by horses or cable, or
propelled by motors turned by steam,
gas, or electricity, have all had prac-
teal tests, but the magnet traction
system now promises great advantages.
There Is no overhead construction
whatever, and not even the slot in the
street which Is essential to the cable
and underground trolley lines. Its
pull ahead is direct force, not relying
on the friction Of the wheels on the
rails for its motive power. It's brak.
ing system Is n direct force exerted by
the roadbcd on the car body and the
magnetic action Is expected to prevent
the sudden derailment of trains.
