New Works Moving Platforms


a subway TO Bowling Green.
The cost of the great undertaking
has not been accurately determined,
but by the most competent engineers
il has been fixed at a minimum of
S9.OOO,0OO. One of the most active
factors in the company is Cornelius
Vanderbilt.
Max Schmidt, the promoter of the
enterprise says of it:
There is absolutely no danger in
the operation of the moving platforms.
Since they were first operated in Chi
cago numerous Improvements have
been made. The majority OF the parts
making up the mechanism are sta
tionary and can be easily inspected.
The motors, wheels. gearings ard
axles can be inspected while the plat
forms themselves are in motion. There
is no such thing as a hot box. The
axles make revolutions averaging los
per minute. The motor unit is about
ten horsepower. The only weight of
the whole outfit is the platforms them
selves.
"The train is endless, therefore the
push and pull are so neutralized that
there is none of the jolt and jar so
customary with trolley cars and other
trains. Safety chains lace up the
couplings between platforms so that
they cannot become separated.
might describe the sensation OF
travelling on these trains as almost
next to flying. They move over rub
Der tires and this adds to the smooth
ness. There are circuit brakes and
safety switches at every station.
These can be brought into immediate
use by the guards. Should the plat
form stop the worst that could hap
pen would be for the passengers TO
get out of their seats and walk across
the bridge
81 am satisfied that when once tried
these platforms viii become so salts
factory that they will be put in use on
the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Black
wells Island bridges. In fact, we
have made arrangements by which,
should our proposed route be adopted,
the platforms can be easily extended
over any of these structures"
To sum up the moving platforms ::
Will have a seating capacity of more
than 10000 passengers per hour.
Trip from Williamsburg to the
Battery can be made in Is minutes.
Estimated cost, 100000.
Proposed fare. 215 cents one way;
cents round trip.
Platforms will be operated under
glass covering, comfortably heated
during winter months.
Platforms can be put in operation
in about two years.
They will be operated on rubber
tires to prevent Earring.
Speed of first platform, miles per
hour; second platform, 6 miles per
hour. and of continuous train, 9 miles
per hour.
