bonus certificates would have until January 2, 1910,

the latter part of August instead of
in June as it has been, but a COM

SILENT STREET CAR.
PUT INTO SERVICE.
Wheels Containing Rubber
Required New Kind OF
Brakes.

The day when Washington street
car riders can carry on normal
voice conversation. even while travel
ing over the toughest track or the
bumpiest intersection, appears to be
near at hand.
After a trial run over one OF the
toughest stretches of track in Wash
ington, the Capital Transit Co. yes
terday put into service one 6f the new
silent street cars-the nearest ap-
proach to noiseless railway transit
service yet developed.
The new car. built exactly the same
as the streamlined cars now IN opera
ton, is equipped with wheels which
contain q rubber insulation between
the inner and outer rims. The rub
ber. type developed after many
years experimentation, is about one
half inch thick. and is designed to
prevent the noise of the wheel on the
track from coming up into the car.
The insulation also prevents vibration
in the floor of the car.
New Brakes Developed.
Development OF these "silencers"
necessitated the development Of diff
ferent system OF brakes, because the
air brakes generated too much heat.
which in time would harden the rub
Der and make it useless The new
car is stopped by an electric brake.
The change was brought about by
changing the four 50-horsepoWer
motors into generators. The current
generated is sent through a large re-
sistance coil and the heat goes off
into the air instead of into the wheels.
This electric brake will work even
though the pillow has been pulled
or the trolley is off the wire. II is so
developed that even if the dynamic
brake fails. the air brakes automati-
cally will come into operation with
full force.
All the new cars are equipped with
an additional brake, track shoe -"
which works electrically and makes
the slow. gentle stop possible. These
are not connected with the wheels. but
work separately as the air brakes are
applied
An explanation of the operation of
the new car would make II appear to
be complicated. But just to show how
simple It is. r. H. Dalgleish, chief en-
gineer of the Capital Transit Co.
