CONTROLLER FOR SINGLE-PHASE RAILWAY OPERATION time is 45 minutes each way, including some twenty the heavy rush hours 189 passengers have been carriedon a single car. The passenger cars measure 50 ft. 6 ins. over all and weighabout 30 tons each. They have a seating capacity of fifty-sixpersons. The cars were built by the Cincinnati Car Company,and are mounted upon Brill 27-E trucks. The freight car wasalso constructed by the Cincinnati Car Company, and is consists of three drums, one for reversing the relative con-nections of the field and armature coils of each motor, and theother two, which are directly geared together and operatedsimultaneously, for varying the voltage impressed upon themotors. The motors are of the conductively compensatedtype, and are connected permanently two in parallel, the volt-age impressed upon each pair of motors being regulated byone of the controller drums mentioned above.
