New Car Meter The Electric Railway Improvement Company, Cleve-land, Ohio, will shortly place on the market a car meterillustrated in the accompanying engraving. Its prin-ciple of operation is the compari-son of the travel under powerwith the total travel of the meter contains two countingheads, electrically actuated by acar wheel, one indicating power-miles and the other car-miles. A! record is thus made not only ofthe coasting but also of the mile-age of the equipment. The lat-ter feature makes the computingof car-miles from the conductorsreport unnecessary. The newmeter is claimed to be the first togive on a mileage basis a recordboth of one part of the cycle—ac-celeration, coasting and brakingnew car meter —and the total cycle. In thisway the number and length of stops do not affect therecord and a comparison can easily be made Underwriters Approve ThermostatControl The Underwriters Laboratories have rendered a re-port on the new system of thermostat control for elec-tric heaters introduced during the past year by theConsolidated Car Heating Company.
