Design, Maintenance and Operation ofElectric Rolling Stock. An interesting acccjunt of the develop-ment of the use of electricity in railroadtransportation was presented by the Com-mittee and the various designs were de-scribed from which it appeared thatscarcely two orders for electric locomo-tives have been built from the same plans,showing that a variety of designs willlikely continue to appear. Reports, how-ever, showed that the designs without theuse of gears or transmission rods are. XEW YORK GEARLESS MOTOR. the most efficient for train speeds exceed-ing 45 to 50 miles an hour. Below thesespeeds the gear and pinion are probablythe most efficient. The use of a jackshaft has not been found entirely satis-factory, as it has been found difficult tokeep it from pounding and running gears are used, some design ofspring or flexible gear will be found de-sirable. Up to the present time there isno uniformity in the delay records ofrailroads. The records are confusing andmisleading. A conference was held atWashington last Januarj under the aus-pices of the Department of Commerce,and a uniform code will likely beadopted in the near future.
