The secondclaim of the patent also covers, it would seem to us, a well-known combination. It reads as follows: The combina-tion with the generator, the rails and the street pipe andthe trolley line of an electrical connection between one poleof the generator and the trolley line, connections betweenthe rails and the street pipe and connections between thestreet pipe and the other pole of the generator. The con-nections that are mentioned seem rather familiar. Theapplication for the patent was filed less than a year ago. In its issue of April 12, the London Electrician publishesan illustrated paper by Mr. Dallas, on American Elec-trical Tramway Gearing. According to a recent offici
