A FINE AUTOMOBILE

Mr.. w. g. Chapman OF this city has
recently completed an automobile that
presents some remarkable features.
The vehicle is a two-seated one, with
electricity as the motive power, obtained
from compact battery OF A storage
cells, the total weight being 1900 pounds.
In addition to the customary controller,
brake, ETC., the carriage is equipped with
a recharging device, so that on down
grade power can be returned to the bat
terry by using the dynamo, instead of be-
ing wasted in useless friction on an ordi
nary brake. Also the regulation OF speed
during the descent is automatic and per
feet.
A recent test of this device on Preble
street Hill showed that the power re-
quired to run up this grade averaged
% horse power, while going down the
amount OF energy stored in the battery
averaged IL horse power, or, in other
words, 90 per cent of the power used IN
climbing the 1Il was received on the
down trip. The point in favor OF the
electrically propelled vehicle equipped
with the recharging device is that GER
tain percentage of the energy expended
being returned, as stated above, the reg
ulation of the speed on a down grade is
automatic in character, and prevents
undue speed, acting much as does the
governor Of the steam engine.
