Reference to Chicago Electrification inIllinois Central Report The Report of the Illinois Central Railroad for the yearended June 30, 1909, contains the following reference to theelectrification of the companys lines out of Chicago underthe heading Electrification of Chicago Terminals: The subject of electrification of the Chicago terminalscf this company has had and is having most earnest andthorough consideration. The problems presented are uniqueand complex. There are no great freight terminals oper-ated by electricity, and it is questionable, even aside fromthe great expense involved, if it is practicable. There areover 310 miles of track in the terminals, and there is a veryheavy exchange of cars between this road and other roadsin Chicago; to effect this exchange it is necessary that thetrains of ihis company shall go upon the tracks of othercompanies, and that their trains shall come upon our tracks;. Prouty Gasoline Car wheel will constantly break away and change both the surfaceand diameter of the work and wheel. If a wheel runs too fastand the work at the right speed, the wheel will glaze quickly,as there is not strain enough to break the grain of the face,and the heat produced on the wheel will cause it to glaze, andif run too slow the right quantity will not be turned out. About6000 ft. a minute is a good speed for general work, and themachines should be regulated to keep the proper speed. Forsoft steel and wrought iron the speed can be from 6500 to 7000ft. a minute. If the wheel on hand is a little hard, lower thewheel speed and increase the speed of the work. At times the work will grind wavy and show chatter marksrunning around it like a thread. In this case the spindle of thewheel may be loose, the wheel itself may be loose, it may havea hard spot in the face, or it may be too hard. Tighten thebearings a little, and if the chatter do
