I he niDlors are of a new type called the G. E. 80. the same capacity (40 h. ) as the G. E. 67, except theennminlalor is larger and some other changes have been made,notably an in the size of all bolts to a standard of i4i inThese motors open from the bottom. This is another point towhich much thought was given. In view of the fact that pit workis being abandoned as far as possible by some companies, and therehas been a marked tendency in some quarters, during the past fewyears, to do all work on motors from above and to demand a motorwhich opens from above rather than from below, the merits of suchmotors were duly considered. It was finally concluded, however,that under the Chicago City Railway Cos. conditions, there were nomaterial in having a motor which would open fromabove and not from below and there were some decided advantagesin having it open from helow.
