EDiDSON IS STILL MODEST.
Tells Facts About Electrical Propulsion
He Invented,

In announcing that he had solved the
problem Of the electric propulsion of
auto vehicles Thomas \. Edison took
occasion TO discredit recent eXtrayaGaut
assertions attributed to him concerning
an electric storage battery, which he
says he has perfected. The report said
the battery might run a pleasure vehicle
ut Il rate of twenty miles an hour for a
distance of 100 miles. The best he would
guarantee on a single charge was 100
miles.
The troubles with the battery | have
been trying for two years to remedy
have been purely mechanical" said Mr..
Edison. They have been due chiefly
to the swelling of the nickel element |
have succeeded in reducing the weight
OF the battery to about forty pounds per
horse power. With n proper motor and
wagon equipment we can take the cells
and operate an ordinary delivery wagon
az y PEI cent of the cost of maintain
ing n horse"
The inventor said he has worked with
the particular object of applying the
power to auto trucks for commercial
purposes and that he can drive n two
ton truck al the rate Of thirty three
miles m hour
