About the Book

Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ... run 100 miles without recharging, or 50 miles, does not become a matter of importance. There is no more necessity to run a battery 100 miles than there is of making a pair of horses pull a car that distance. You can work a pair of horses until they drop in their tracks, and you can do the same with a battery until it becomes exhausted, but there is no necessity in either case. We calculate to run about 20 or 25 miles before we make a change of batteries, and if they are run in that way in a road where grades do not exist beyond five or six per cent., there is no trouble. The question of how expensive the system is going to be is controlled by the question of how often you are going to renew the positive plates. We believe from what we know that the cost of running is considerably less than horses, although we have no figures to show. We believe that in about one year it can be run in competition, so far as economy is concerned, with any overhead system. "When a car is run about 20 miles at the ordinary street-car speed, it will take about two and one-half hours to charge the batteries for that 20 miles or more; but practice has shown us that it is very foolish to draw out the entire charge of the battery. The question of how long the battery will run before it will absolutely break down ought not to be considered for a moment, because it is very bad practice--that is the thing which destroys the cells. If the cells are properly used in this respect, the batteries will last a long time, for many months. I know of one plant in Philadelphia in the lighting service that has run five years without change. "As to the amount of power that is required to run a storage battery car, I took for one week the mileage of the cars on the Dubuque road, and also ...
