These two itemsdo not vary exactly in the same ratio, but it is thoughtby those in charge that the discrepancies between theseitems can be accounted for by variations in the qualityof fuel, in the firing, slight changes made on theengines, draught, etc. The horse-power hours in turnare most nearly dependent on the motor car miles, thetrailers not having much influence. This is as wasanticipated, because ammeter readings taken on the carsshowed that there was but little difference in the currentconsumption of the motors with and without trailers.
