Battery current regulation/ as employ-ed exclusively in the Bliss System, insures charging atpredetermined times and at predetermined minimumrates, thus providing that the battery is at all times fullycharged. Terminal charging is eliminated, and the bat-tery being always charged at the lowest consistent rate,deterioration is reduced to a minimum. CAR GENERATOR—TYPE C. Outside Suspension. Straight Line Belt Tension—Split Frame. Type C Generator is a truck mounted, belt driven ma-chine supported on what is commonly known as an out-side suspension. The latter consists of two 3^/2xi.

The suspension bars extend beyond 177 178 RULES FOR MOVEMENT OF TRAINS the end sill about 30, and across their outer ends is bolteda 4xi wrought iron cross bar, which is laid flat and bentdownward between the suspension bars, so that its uppersurface is level with and equal in width to the top of theend sill. The frame is additionally stiffened laterally bvmeans of two diagonal wrought iron braces, bolted to theend sill and suspension bars.
