time during the month of February,

very short time.

MOTOR TRUCKS
Baltimore Electrical Com
mission Has Placed in Ser
vice New Type Of Car.

The electrical commission Of Balti-
more has placed in service an unusual
type Of motor truck, which, due to
genius of the commission, performs an
astonishing number of duties in the
maintenance Of the municipal conduit
system. The motor truck combines a
vehicle for transporting repair crews
and supplies and embodies a pumping
station, lighting plant repair shop
and a wireless equipment enabling the
commission to keep in constant touch
with the truck.
Perhaps the most striking feature Of
this machipe is the fact that the wire
less equipment unlike any other Dorta-
BILE set, enables the crew to receive
messages while the truck is being driv-
en- along the streets. The appearance
of the machine gives no suggestion of
its great utility in conduit mainten-
ance, but when ready for action it is
capable Of pumping 1900 gallons of
water per hour from flooded conduit,
and it will furnish a flood of light for
inspection and repairs, to say nothing
Of carrying all the necessary parapher-
! nolia-
New Pump.
Just in the rear of the drivers seat
is mounted a gasoline-driven centrifu-
gal pump, which is capable Of exhaust
ing water from the manholes at the
rate Of 10000 gallons per hour For the
sake Of economy the pump is not driv-
en- by the 80 horsepower truck engine
but is directly connected to an indie
pendent four horsepower gasoline en-
CINE.
The pumping engine, however. is
cooled from the same source as the
larger engine; that is, water is pumped
from the bottom of the trusk radiator
through flexible metal hose to the ma
rine engine and returned to the ton of
the radiator after circulating around
tn cylinders of the truck engine.
Operates Dynamo.
The pumping engine also operates a
small dynamo which, in addition to
furnishing ignition for the marine en-
CINE, supplies sufficient current for IL
Eliminating manholes. By the aid of
the portable lamps, which can be
plugged in on the dynamo current.
duct chambers may be examined for
a distance of so feet to determine the
nature and cause of the distractions in
the conduits.
Equipment Practical.
The antenna of the wireless outfit is
suspended Immediately under the roof
of the car, and was made of approxi-
mately 425 feet of No. IA stranded, rub
Der insulated, copper WIRE which was
laced back and forth until 40 wires
were obtained with a separation of one
inch. The aerial is therefore incon-
spicuous and well protected. A series
of rigid tests proved conclusively that
the equipment is entirely practical and
that excellent results can be obtained.
