August 7, 1909.] ELECTRIC RAILWAY JOURNAL. 227 NEW TYPE OF MOTOR VELOCIPEDE A three-man velocipede motor built for heavy service,such as construction and line repair work, has been placedon the market by the Buda Foundry & ManufacturingCompany, Chicago, 111. It is known as the No. 12 A. Theother types of motor velocipedes made by the companyhave a 2j4-hp engine, but the No. 12 A has a 4-hp engine,and is not equipped with the hand propelling lever usedon the other types of car. All the sills are of square steel. Three-Passenger Motor Velocipede tubing held in position by iron X-bracing bolted. Theguide arms are likewise of steel tubing. The car is whatmight be termed all-steel construction, only the seats, toolbox and footboard being of wood. The steel constructionadds only slightly to the weight of the car, but increasesits strength considerably. In the one and two-man motorvelocipedes made by the company, the two lower sills only,which carry the engine, are of steel tubing, this being con-sidered sufficient for the service the cars are intended toperform. AN ELECTRIC MINE LOCOMOTIVE The Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company,Pittsburgh, Pa., and the Baldwin Locomotive Works, Phila-delphia, Pa., have built jointly a new type of electric loco-motive, shown in the accompanying engraving. It is ofthe gathering type, and a single powerful motor per-forms the functions of both propulsion and operation of thegathering reel. The design has been patented by J. M.
