This electric locomotive differsfrom any that have previously been built, in having a rigidframe for the drivers and pony trucks at each end for is also an innovation with respect to the type of motors. Thehigh speed for which the motors were designed made it possi-ble to economically utilize material in the form of bi-polarunits. The poles of the motors are provided with flat faces, and braking the train. A sectional view is shown in Fig. economize space and simplify the bearings, the compressoris provided with two motors, which, by reason of the low speed,are connected in series with each other. The air pressure ismaintained by a governor, which automatically starts and stops.
