BRILLS ELECTRIC TRACTION COMPUTER The souvenir of the Brill Company at the conventionwas one of Coxs computers designed to immediately, andwithout any calculation whatever, give the effective horse-power necessarv to propel any load at various speeds andalso upon various grades, thus solving by the simplestmechanical means an often perplexing problem. It is based2,000 G + T on the formula h. p. = L x S , where L is the 33,000 X 100load in tons of 2,000 lbs.; S, the speed in feet per minute ;G, the grade in per cent; T, the tractive force per ton inlbs. It is also specially designed to give the h. p. requiredfor the different styles of Brill trucks. Those who did notsecure one of these computers at the convention may do soby writing to the ^ ■■ -t.
