Two DeFrance automatic air sanders and a simplex head-light are also used. The instrument equipment consists of an integrating watt-meter for measuring the total power supplied to the motors,an integrating wattmeter for measuring the power suppliedto the compressor motor, a G. E. graphic recording ammeterin the motor circuit, and a G. E. graphic recording voltmeter. TEST CAR VSED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS which is generally used to record the trolley voltage, althoughby means of a voltmeter plug board on the instrument tablethe voltage on any individual motor armature or field may berecorded. A switch with ammeter leads connected to it hasbeen placed in the circuit of each motor so that the currentin each individual motor may be obtained at any time byconnecting the ammeter leads to an ammeter and opening theswitch. The speed is obtained in two ways. First, by an autometer
