The car was designed and produced by the Oeneral Electric company, and Is being thoroughly teeted on all grades and curves. Its performance so far, under all condi tions, has been satisfactory la every way, showing a speed of 10 miles an hour over heavy grades and over 10 miles an hour under more favorable conditions. This new type of gas-electric cat takes the place of steam engines and trains on short line work. It com bines In one the power house, trans mission lines, sub-station and all the benefits of electric traction without the costly and cumbersome features of the trolley. A powerful gas engine In the forward compartment drives an electric generator. The current ob tained In this way supplies power to the motors which drive the car. The gas engine, which consumes gasoline, runs very smoothly and the electrl cat equipment assures perfect control or speea, even acceleration and as comfortable riding as Is enjoyed In the modern Interurban electric. The car Is of the coblnation type and comprises one ordinary passenger compartment, a smoking room, a bag gage room, an engine room, a toilet and an observation compartment The dimensions are as follows: Length over all, 60 feet; width over all, 8 fet 8 Inches; height over all 12 feet 19 H Inches; seating capacity 44; total weight of car, 31 tons. The shape of the ends of the car Is parabolic In order to reduce the air resistance to a minimum when traveling at .high speed. The exterior Is of steel plate and the Interior Is ilnished with selected Mexican ma hogany. No wood Is used In the en Mrlne room. The seats are upholstered in green leather. The Interior is lighted with Individual electric lights snd the car Is equipped with an elec trie headlight. Storage batteries keep the lights, burning when the engine Is not running. - The main feature of the car Is Its power equipment. The eighth yllnder Taa engine develops 150 hors power and Is coupled to a ISO-horse power direct current generator. The two motors which drive the car are each rated at 80 horse power.
