The car illustrated in Fig. i is designed to accommodate fiftypersons, and has two six-wheel, double trucks. The motors aredesigned for a total normal output of iioo hp, and 3000 hp maxi-mum. A frequency of 50 cycles is used. It was first proposed to construct at each end of the car adrivers cab, in which the necessary starting apparatus should beprovided, so that the motorman could control the ca
