RUBBER TIRES FOR ELECTRIC CARS.
oBERLIN SMITHS IDEA WAS NOT TO PUT THE
FORMER ON LOCOMOTIVES.

oBERL1N SMITHS IDEA WAS NOT TO PUT THE
FORMER ON LOCOMOTIVES.
Br,dgeton y. J.. July (Specia).-A few DAYS ago
a report from Cape May represented Oberln Smith
as recommending the use OF rubber tires on locomo
tive engines and advancing the doctrine that
bv such means II would be possible 10 attain a
speed OF nearly OF quite two hundred miles an hour
Careful inquiry shows that Mr. Smith. who has
given much attention TO railroad matters and Is an
authority in civil engineering. had no intention or
advocating rubber tires for use on steam roads In
fact Il was only for electric cars that he suggest
ed such a novelty. Even this application was not
made an essential 70 high speed. but merely an incl
dental feature OF the electric road Of the future.
Like several other experts Mr.. Smith has recog-
nized the fact that in order 10 combine high speed
with safety whether steam or electric power he
empIoyed) It il necessary have track which
IS Tree from certain defects now characteristic OF
even the best roads Sharp curves switches and
other Irregularities must be ellmina An auto
matte block signal service would be requisite and
some changes in the form OF the cars may prove er
pedient II is possible, II not probable that the
road OF the future which cars are able to travel
safely nj the rate of a hundred and nifty or two
hundred miles hour will be an elevated road
Mr. Westinghouse long ago suggested such plan
But elevation is essential 1t is enough II grade
crossings arc avoided With this precaution OBJ
served carefully the train can run at any level that
is found to he convenient.
