The normal generator pressureis 300 volts and the exciter pressure is 60 volts. The gen-erator has commutating poles and can be overloaded atstarting with a current up to 500 amp. Each car has twoseries-wound commutating-pole motors rated 80 hp at 300volts on the hourly basis. The motors are geared in theratio of 1 The control and speed regulation is carried out in ac-cordance with the Ward-Leonard system, namely, by regu-lating the generator fields. The control of both generatorsmay be carried out in common from either cab. In the. Private Gas-Electric Motor Car a ings in the floor. The radiators are mounted on the roofabove the two engineers cabs, and the connecting pipesbetween the engine and radiator and the exhaust are con-tained in a chimney-shaped erection in the front of eachcar.

MACHINE EQUIPMENT The combustion engine gives a continuous output of 120hp. at a speed of 700 Forced lubrication is effectedby means of an oil pump. The engine is started by meansof compressed air and is cooled with air-cooled water,which is circulated by
