A commutating-pole type motor designated as , made according to special designs by the West-inghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company and. Cleveland Center-Entrance Car—Plan of Platform having the following characteristics, was adopted:40 hp on one-hour rating; gear ratio, 15/57, and tooperate on 26-in. wheels. It was the aim of the rail-way and the manufacturers to produce a motor hav-ing the same operating characteristics as the 101-Bbut which could be adapted to a 26-in. wheel. Thiswas accomplished in a large measure by the co-opera-tion of the railway company and the Westinghouseengineers, and a very satisfactory type of motor re-sulted without sacrificing any of the properties of theolder type. Trucks of special design, No. 51-E, were furnished byThe J. G. Brill Company. They were constructed tobe equipped with two motors each and to operate with26-in. one-wear rolled-steel wheels on axles of 4V& at the motor bearings and 5-in. diameterat the gear seat, and with the railways standard 3%-in. x 8-in. journals. Roller side bearings and ballcenter bearings were also included. The wheelbaseof the truck
