OIL.ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE
PROVING ECONOMY WONDER

Pa, this locomotive, hauling q losl.
ed freight train, made a run Of 531
miles to New York City without tax
ing on fuel or water. The total cost
of both fuel and lubricating oil for
the 537-mile run was only $26.15, OF
an average of less than cents per
mile. The tractive efficiency of the
oil-electric locomotive was strikingly
exemplified at one stage in the run
from Erie, when it pushed stalled
freight train of 81 cars over l per
cent grade without uncoupling its own
load.
TEST UNUSUAL.
Even more convincing. perhaps, was
the fuel economy record made by a
Cotton oil-electric locomotive recently
placed in service by the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad in New York. On Its
maiden trip of 733 miles, unattached,
this locomotive used only $S.75 worth
of fuel oil. making the average fuel
cost per mile only / 2-10 cents.
The oil-electric locomotive is smoke
less, cinderless and virtually noiseless.
1t runs forward and backward with
equal facility and power, obviating the
necessity for turntables or similar de-
vices.
The basic feature of the oil-electric
locomotive is an internal combustion
oil engine, which drives an electric
generator. The current so produced is
then applied to motors geared to the
ankles of the driving wheels.

A big new market for fuel oil is

STATIONS of the practicability Of the
latest form of railroad motive power,
the oil-electric locomotive. While .
new conner in the sphere of railroad
transportation, this new type of loco.
motive has, according to Compressed
Air Magazine. already made its i'm
press upon the watching economic
world.
Engineering authorities who have
followed demonstrations of the pow
err and utility of the oil-elcctric loco
motive visualize q potential market for
fuel oil approximating no less than
$125, 100000 a year-the estimated
consumption by the railroads it the
oil-electric is put into general use.
ECONOMY FEATURE.
The outstanding advantage OF the
oil-electric locomotive, is its huge saw
ing in cost of operation. 1t has been
calculated that, while the yearly fuel
bill of the railroads. is now approx
mately $500, 100000. the saving
through the use of the oil-electric To-
connective would be close to $375,OOO,'

The state attempted TO show that
Robinson was "lured" to the McKell-

Mrs. McKelligon had spent considerable

that the tracing of the woman's move
