Width over-all—11 ft. 6% ins. Width over car body—10 ft. 3 ins. Diameter of driving wheels—62 ins. Diameter of truck wheels—30 ins. Weight on drivers—220 tons. Tractive effort—133,000 pounds. Horsepower developed—6,700. It may be added that the entire electri-fication work of installation, details of de-sign of electrical apparatus, includingpower house, locomotives, line construc-tion and signalling, has been carried onunder the supervision of Gibbs & Hill,consulting engineers.

The illustration shows two motors on onetruck with the pinions on the end of thearmature shafts engaging with the largegear, which is pressed on to the jackshaft carried in heavy bearings on the bl- under the deck. The duct runs length-wise through the cab, and is arrangedwith openings at various points whereconnections are made to the tractionmotors,
