Diagram Showing Steering Control of Schiemann Trackless Trolley Train The route, which is about 2 miles long, is over the macadamizedpublic highway. The equipment consists of a single car of tonsweight, while the motor develops 15 horsepower at 440 volts. The 386 TRACKLESS TROLLEY TRACTION 7 line is considered temporary because regular electric street cars willbe installed as soon as the traffic warrants. Listallations of this system are also found in Italy and Fig. 7. Plan and Front and Side Elevation of Mercedes-StoU Current Collector Mercedes=Stoll System. The Mercedes-Stoll System origin-ated in Austria and is used mostly in Austria-Hungary and Bohemia. 387 8 TRACKLESS TROLLEY TRACTION -TO TROLLEY Trolley Wires. The trolley wires are spaced about 12 inchesapari and are supported in such a way that the power can be takenoff b} a carriage running on top of the wires. This is the funda-mental difference between the Schiemann System and the Mercedes-Stoll. The suspension of the wires does not offer any special Device. Fig. 7 shows very clearly the arrange-ment of the collector, and the details of its construction. Running on top of the wires is a four-wheeledtruck of very light construction, inthe center of which is suspended,at a comparatively great distance,a heavy weight. By means of thisweight the center of gravity is keptvery low so that there is no dangerof a derailment of the experience has sho
