ACROSS THE CONTINENT.
An Electric Car Making s,3OO- Mile
Test Trip.

The Strang electric car left Jersey city
for a trip to San Francisco last Friday.
The journey will be made in the nature
of a test of tho new idea of which the
Strang Electric Railway Car company is
the builder and exploitor, and Lars q.
Nilsson the inventor The route being
taken is ON the West Shore Line to AL
bUrly the New York Central to Buffalo,
the Lake Shore & Michigan to Chicago,
the Chicago a. Alton to Kansas City.
and the Rock Island and Southern Pacific
roads to San Francisco.
Among those who are making the entire
trip, or n part of it, are w. Is. Strang.
A. +. Hunt, vice president of the com
pany; General Manager Smith of the New
York Central l. Hudson River railroad,
various officials of the West Shore and
the Lake Shore lines, j. A. Nandergrtt
and Lars G.. Nilsson. About 90 miles a
day will be made, with various stops
along the route. 1t is more than 1900 miles
to San Francisco, and plenty of opportun-
ity will be afforded the new ear to do
what is claimed for it by it's inventor and
builder. 1t has made in tests on the
Pennsylvania railroad, as high as 60 miles
an hour, but its steady speed Is put at 30
miles.
1t is the embodiment of n new idea in
electric propulsion, as it eliminates the
present power house, the overhead trolley,
the third rail system, and the storage
battery. 1t makes its own power as it
travels along and consists of gas en-
CINE with direct connection to d dynamo
which generates its own electricity to
turn the wheels. This gas engine is at
the forward end of the Car and is of
special design with s0-horsepower. 1t is
of the four cylinder type, and has six
sXl0 cylinders. To secure short crank
shaft and reduce the vibration to a mini
mum the cylinders arc partially opened,
three on each side, and set at an angle
of 90 degrees to each other. The weight
OF the engine is reduced by the use OF
aluminium as far as possible. The va
porizer is so arranged as to work with
the greatest economy with all kinds OF
loads.
