SYSTEMATIC CAR SHIFTING

Two interesting examples Of foreign
built automobiles designed for heavy
hauling are shown in the accompanying
cuts. The first one is a steam drawn
vehicle, the design OF which embraces a
number OF novel features. In the first
place, the front wheels are used both
for the purpose of steering and propul-
sion, the steering being done by reducing
the speed of the wheel that side TO
which it Is desired to turn. The driving
machinery is all below the level of the
platform. leaving the entire surface of
the latter for the load. which are both
interesting innovations in this style of
wagon
This vehicle is the design of DR.. A.

who have spent five years in the build
ing of it and in experimenting with the
Various features which enter into its de-
eign. The object was to overcome a mum.
Der Of objections which have been
brought against other steam freight car
rying vehicles.
To the untechnical observer the most
striking novelty of this design is the
location Of the drivers platform, which
is situated in front and lower than
that for the reception OF freight. The
drivers scat is located on the right-hand
side OF this. and opposite him is a bunker
for the accommodation Of coke. This
has a capacity of two and half hun
tred-weight. The tank for water is To-
cated over the rear axle, and it Will hold
about 40 gallons.
The vehicle shown in the cut was built

platform is 10 by 6l-2 feet and is IL
feet above the ground. and the wheel
base is eight feet 1t has been very

The other automobile shown is of
French design. and. while 1t Is also meant
for heavy service. the propelling power is
derived from alcohol which has been
adopted in a number of German and
French vehicles for lighter service. Its
operation has been shown to be very
economical.
Systematic Car Shifting.

freight cars entering Chicago has be-
