These are vertical, cross-com-pound condensing engines, running 138 r. p. m. Their ratedhorse-power is 750 with 150 lbs. steam pressure, and runningat the most economical point of cut off. The cylinders are18-in. and 36-in. x 36-in. stroke. The cylinders are madedouble ported, and ports are made large enough so that thepiston heads partially cover the pockets at the end of the stroke.

ST. LOUIS CAR COMPANY The most extensive exhibit of electric cars and trucks to befound at the Exposition is that made by the St. Louis CarCompany. This company has not only succeeded in gettingtogether a very interesting historical collection, showing thegrowth and evolution of the modern electric car from the stagecoach
