It has been found, however, that with all therheostat resistance in the field circuit the voltage isslightly over 525, and this has proved advantageous, as ithas demonstrated that the conduit system can be success-fully operated with this voltage. The economical per-formance of these units at less than half load attests theirexcellent design and good management. The armaturesare of the drum type, the connections being carriedaround on the cylindrical surface instead of spirally in theplane of the heads. This makes a much larger armature,but one which admits of very ready INTERIOR OF CAR HOUSE. The switchboard is substantially constructed. Thereare three machine panels, and in addition seven feederpanels and one instrument panel. Each feeder panel issupplied with an ammeter, a circuit breaker, and twosingle-pole single-throw switches. On the instrumentpanel is a heavy current recording wattmeter, an ammeterwhich measures the whole station output, a ground detector,and a low reading ammeter. The power-house has thesame characteristics of good construction as the car-barn.(To be continued.) Objection to a New Rule in Toledo. There has been talk of a strike on the lines of theToledo Traction Company as a consequence of an orderwhich has just gone into effect. The regulation to whichthe men take exception provides that each conductor mustcarry a cuspidor for use on the rear platform. This hemust buy, keep clean and take back and forth with himwhen he leaves his car and when he resumes work. The menclaim that the work which the
