The following is a report of a test made for traction onthe Ithaca street railway in November, 1S94, by C. and the author of this paper. The object wasespecially to determine the traction pull necessary to run acar at a uniform speed of six and again of ten miles perhour; also to determine the traction on grades. It was de-cided to employ a recording traction dynamometer and elec-trical observations to measure the power applied, in a way checking the correctness of the was done by coupling the baggage car by means of thedynamometer to No. 9 passenger car, which is equippedwith two twenty-five horse power Thomson-Houstonmotors. A round trip was made on State stieet tothe L. V. R. R. station at a very nearly uniform speedof six. miles per hour. No electrical readings were takenon the return trip from the L. V. R. R. station to the lowerswitch, because the cars could not be reversed, and the bag-gage car had to tow No. 9. There the end of the recordingpenc
