The current consump-tion of these heaters on 500 volts is as follows: First point. 7amperes; second point. 12 amperes; third point, ig amperes. It is a common mistake, in purchasing electric heater equipmentfor a car, to provide an insufficient number of heaters, thus givingtoo small radiating surface and making it necessary to work thebeaters at a high temperature, which is detrimental to the life ofthe heater coils and does not produce as good results in heating thecar as a larger number of heaters at lower temperature; the lat-ter have a large radiating surface and distribute the heat wellthrough the car instead of concentrating it at a few points underthe seats, where it causes discomfort to the passengers who happento
