The B. F. Sturtevant Co. has made a large addition to its worksto better accommodate the electrical department of the business,which has developed with the use of electricity for driving auxiliaryapparatus. Just as-in the 70s the demand for its blowers to beengine driven led the company to take up the design and manufac-ture of special engines for direct attachment to the blowers, theuse of motors in place of the engines led to the development of theelectrical department which now covers over 20,000 sq. ft. of theshops. Prominent among the companys late products is an elec-. ERECTING FLOOR, WORKS OF B. F. STURTEVANT CO. trie fan of the propeller type having the motor entirely enclosed. The accompanying illustration is from a view of one corner olthe erecting tioor at the Sturtevant works and shows a variety olmotor driven fans. The product of the company includes fans upto IS ft. in diameter, a line of electric motors and generators rang-ing in size from 1-6 h. p. to 125 h. p., and a line of engines coveringthe same range of capacity. March ist, the Collins Park & Bell line, Atlanta, Ga., will in-augurate a 15-minute service on its river line, putting on 10 newcars. There has been considerable complaint in Minneapolis and in regard to high steps with which the street cars are equipped,the distance from the ground to the first step being 19 inches. Achange is to be made by the company by lowering the car bodiesand adding another step to the car. Fi:n. 15, 1900.] STRRirr KAILWAY KRVIEW. 100 HANDLING LONG RAILS. Mr. S. ]
