One ofthe General Electric Cos. machines was recently installed in themines of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron Co. This loco-motive is equipped with two 85 volt motors and a controller of the jjjsame type as is used in overhead trolley locomotives. The batteries -employed are Type A-8, Edison 70 cell, and have a 300 ampere hourcapacity, with a discharge of 60 amperes for five hours. They pro-vide at the full rated draw-bar pull, namely 1000 pounds, and thenormal speed namely 3-|- miles per hour, for a milea
