Electrical news and engineering . orms and one report fromthe Chicago, Lake Shore & South Bend Railway mentionedthat its cars actually made up in time bucking snow. Partisan opponents of single-phase operation have fre-quently asserted that it was unsuited to heavy service, anda paper read last summer went so far as to assert thatsingle-phase projects were practically abandoned in Amer-ica. It was an amusing coincidence that this paper cameout just before the Boston & Maine Railroad signed con-tracts for the single-phase electrification of the HoosacTunnel, and that at the same time the New Haven interestsordered additional Westinghouse single-phase New Haven had also, after three years of trial, placedcontracts for single-phase electrification of its Harlem riverdivision and has planned to extend single-phase electricoperation to all traffic over the whole division between NewYork and New Haven. .Kt the same time, also, equipmentwas being built for an entirely new single-phase interurban tXTx:. Two motors, five trailcis— ( control, llOOO York, New Haven .uiil Hartforil H. R. line in Illinois (the Rock Island -Southern); other single-phase roads were increasing their equipments, while Canadi-ans should be familiar with llie thoroughly satisfactory oper-ation of single-phase apparatus in the St. Clair Tunnel, whereall of the trafiic of the Grand Irutdi Railway has been hand-led electrically for nearly three years. Recent information announces that, after exhaustive in-vestigation of electric systems, the Prussian government hasadopted single-phase motors with an aggregate rating ofl,!K)(i and a speed of miles per hour for the standardelectric locomotive for trunk line service.
