The control equipment is similar to that supplied bythe Westinghouse Company on the Paulist and ChileanState Railways, and has been designed to give the great-est simplicity and flexibility to the control of the locomo-tive. All switches such as line, resistor and motor com- bination switches required to break heavy currents are ofthe electro-pneumatic unit type. Motor combinations andregenerative circuits are set up by electro-pneumatic cam-operated switches and regenerative regulating and stabil-izing resistance switches are of the electro-pneumatic unittype, but without blowout coils. The control is arranged for three speed combinations,consisting of series, series-parallel and parallel, or one-third, two-thirds and full speed. The series or one-third. Electric Locomotive fop the Norte Railway of Spain speed motor combination is obtained by connecting all sixmotors in series. In this combination, eleven resistancenotches are provided and one running notch. The series-parallel or two-third speed motor combina-tion is obtained by connecting in parallel two sets ofthree motors in series. Here again, eleven resistancenotches and one running notch are provided. The par-allel or full speed motor combination is obtained bv con-necting in parallel three sets of two motors in resistance notches and one running notch are pro-vided, but normally only nine of the resistance notches willbe used or required. Changes from one combination to another will be ef-fected by means of a motor combination handle on themaster controller, so arranged that the locomotive may beaccelerated through the three speed combinations in se-quence or in
