The battery while in the car is held bythe hooks before mentioned, from two substantial bars, which arefastened to the truck by stiff springs. One point should be noted in regard to the arrangement toprevent wave motion and splashing of the battery liquid. Theplates in the cells are arranged at right angles to the directionof motion of the car, and thus serve as admirable dampers to anydecided movement of the liquid.

The battery while in the car is held bythe hooks before mentioned, from two substantial bars, which arefastened to the truck by stiff springs. One point should be noted in regard to the arrangement toprevent wave motion and splashing of the battery liquid. Theplates in the cells are arranged at right angles to the directionof motion of the car, and thus serve as admirable dampers to anydecided movement of the liquid. The controller used on the cars is known as the S 7, and is ofthe same general type as the 500-volt controller of the GeneralElectric Company. The current passing through it is, of course,larger than that for 500-volt apparatus, and is in about inverseproportion to the applied voltages of the two cases. The controller is of the series-parallel type, and the battery andmotor combination are as shown below: 1. Halves of battery in multiple; motors in series; full field. 2. Same as above, except fields are VIEW IN CHARGING ROOM, SHOWING HOIST IN BACKGROUND 3. Halves of battery in series; motors in series; full field. 4. Same as above, except fields are shunted. (Transition steps.) 5. Halves of battery in series; motors in multiple; full field.
