April 11, 1914.] ELECTRIC RAILWAY JOURNAL 833 CONCRETE-MIXING CAR FOR REINFORCING DECAYED POLES BY A. J. PURINTON, GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT EAST & SUBURBAN RAILWAY In former years, when the price of wooden poles wasmuch lower than at present, it was the custom to re-place them with new ones when the decay at the groundline was such as to leave a doubt as to their growing demand, along with the subsequent in-crease in price, has caused many companies to take steps. End View, Showing Chute Transportation of Concrete fromMixer to Reinforce Pole to preserve the life of each pole as long as a pole may be in good condition otherwise, itdecays and will finally break at the ground line. The Orr system of using reinforced concrete, as con-trolled by Hubbard & Company, Pittsburgh, Pa., to however, that for reinforcing either a small or largenumber of poles, the cost of doing the work in thismanner was so high as to make it almost order to lower this cost of concreting, it was decidedto place a small mixer on a work car to replace the handlabor as far as possible. This equipment comprised a40-ft. double-truck flat car with removable sides at oneend of which an 8-ft. square cab for housing the con-trol apparatus was provided. The mixer, a No. 0 special Marsh-Capron, is mountedon the rear end and is set as high on the car as overheadclearance conditions would permit, thus giving a ver-tical drop of about 8 ft. f
