That at least one make of electric auto
| mobile, when operated on its lowest speed
is capable of covering about twice tn'
| mileage on a single battery charge thar
when operated on its high speed, has beer
proven by exhaustive experiments recently
conducted by the Studebaker Brothers
Manufacturing Company at South Bend

the car used was a S~tudebaker Victoria
Phaeton, weighing with full equipmen
1000 pounds, and having been In daily u.s.
for six months. In the first test the ca
was operated on its lowest speed over
two-mile course, and ran for twenty-tou'
hours before exhaustlng the batter!
charge, during which time 1t Travelled %
miles. After recharging the batteries tn
car started off again, this time on 1t
second speed, and ran for fifteen hours
covering 1876 miles. On the third speed |
travelled 101 miles in e~lght/hours, and Of
the fourth test, when operated on its higl
speed, 1t covered eighty-two miles in ST.
hours. This model of Studebaker electri
is rated to cover forty miles in each bat
terry charge. and in this test it Delivers
100 per cent. more mileage than It's ratinl
on the high speed and from $50 to 2S5 pc
cent. more than Its rating on the lowe
speeds.
