Abstract
THE leading feature of the current issue (No. 180, vol. xxxvii.) of the Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers is the paper on the overhead equipment of tram- ways by Messrs. R. N. Tweedy and H. Dudgeon, especially in view of the fact that the overhead system has been so abused of late years by the general public, and thousands of pounds sunk in other schemes of electric tramways which might have beep enormously reduced the prejudice which exists against the overhead system account of its supposed “danger” had been removed The authors throughout the paper make a strong appeal for more economy in the capital outlay of tramway equipment, and show how in their opinion this may be brought about in the case of the overhead system.
