.ESCALATORS IN LONDON
Underground Railways Now In

Tho announcement that escalators OF
American manufacture are being installed
nj once in two stations Of London's UNDER
around railways is a striking Indication OF
how English managers Of such companies
arc recognizing and adopting the best or
American convenicnces for the handling Of
,aseorgar traffic. The London Board Of
Trade has passed already on the two esca-
Iators at the Earle's Court station or the
London Electric Railway and four at the
Iiyerpool street station OF the Central Lon
don Railway. Installation Of all these ma
chimes will be made by the Otis Elevator
comnanv Work on the Liverpool street
improvements will be commenced on Janu-
airy I.
The two stations where escalators are 70
be used are at the most important points OF
the underground system. Entrance 10 the
tube at Liverpool street is near the sta
tons Of the Great Eastern Railway and OF
the North London Railway at Broad
street, and near the Royal Exchange and
stock Exchange. The Earle's Court sta
ton IS used by all the passengers for the
Earle's Court exhibition grounds, by way
Of the Piccadilly tube.
Conveyance of passengers from platform
level to street level by means Of lifts at
those points where the volume Of traffic Is
heaviest has been found inadequate. both

fort and economy of operation. After
careful study Of devices for conveying pas
sengers from one level to another, ascend

reer for the London electric railways, Sc

by the Otis company.
