Neverthe-less, they have been carefully bonded at the points. In the construction of the cars care has been taken to have all ofthe metal portions with which a passenger might come in contactinsulated from both positive and negative trolleys, consequentlythe car is at the same potential as the rail, which forms the neutralconductor of the three-wire system and is zero. The overheadconstruction presents no special features beyond the fact that thereare two trolley wires. The cars are provided with double trucks
