Multiple control apparatus for two cars with two No. 131 con-trollers and four No. 50-C motors, were arranged on trucks foroperation. These trucks are of the Master Car Builders stan-dard equalizing-bar type and were built by the Baldwin Locomo-tive Works, of Philadelphia, Pa. The Westinghouse multiple con-trol system involves the use of compressed air for moving thecontrolling apparatus, electro-magnetic valves governing the ad-mission of air to the several cy
