The table in the next column gives the results of the six sets,and is self-explanatory. This table shows the enormous advantage to be gained by adopt-ing the highest acceleration compatible with the practical detailsof motor design. It fortunately happens, however, that we have added to the rolling stock of the City & South London Railway,and twelve more are now in course of construction.
