A flue or levcler at the side is operated by chains which arewound around shafts driven by worm gearing. On the side wherethe fluke is used the lower half of the opening in the cab is closedwith a door and a heavy curtain pulled down to meet it; on theopposite side the car may be entirely closed by a door making thecab very comfortable for the men. Each plow is fitted with two G. E. 57 motors and, fully equipped,weighs about 13 tons. Three men are required to operate the plow, one at the control-ler, one to adjust the shear and fluke, and one for the trolley pole.
