The Substitution of Electricity for Steam as a Motive Power for Suburban Traffic
It is not the intention of the author in this paper to treat exhaustively of the question of the substitution of electricity for steam in the handling of heavy suburban traffic, but rather to give a concise statement of the history and results of certain investigations made by him, to the end that the Transactions of the American Society of Civil Engineers may contain a record of the progress which has been made in the use of electric motors for transportation purposes, and to lay the foundation for future papers on this subject. The author does not pretend to any expert electrical knowledge, and requests an open criticism of any remarks made herein by experts in this branch of engineering.
