An exhibition Of the electric system
used on the Manhattan Elevated rail-
way is made by a Schenectady COM
pany. This Is what is known as the
train control system and is equipped
with 10 horsepower motors, two under
each car. new Invention Tor the
safety Of these trains Is shown. half
pound downward pressure on the con-
troller is required Of the motor driver
who is in control Of the whole train.
Suppose the motorman should drop IN
fit be struck by missile or other
wise disabled while the train was 60
ing at full speed. He has no fireman in
the cab with him like the engineer Of a
locomotive. BY this new device when
the motorman's hand leaves the con-
troller the power is shut of, the brakes
applied and the train stops. II cannot
be started again until the hand cf tile
controller is brought back TO the start
ing point
new electric brake is shown on a
standard trolley car truck with -
horsepower motors. 1t works inde'
pendently of the trolley and could con
troll car which had slipped its trolley
on such an Incline, for instance as the
State street hill in Albany. The power
to work the brake is generated 10y the
motors The brake consists Of two
plates, one of which is fixed to the axle
end revolves with the wheel. The
other plate, beside the motor, contains
two coils. The application of'the brake
magnetizes the stationary disk and
