Text Appearing After Image:
For Street Railways the DAFT SYSTEM possesses the following named advantages:—Unobtrusiveness of the Electrical Machinery.—It is entirely beneath the car-floor, and the regu-lating gear on each platform requires less space for its operation than the hand brake; besides permit-ting the driver to be always in front, without recourse to a turntable at every reversal of direction. No Disturbance to Balance of Car or Resilience of Springs—Carbuilders have reached the presentexcellence in these lespects only by long and tedious experience, and the Daft System requires nochange of existing methods, as the motive machinery is absolutely independent of the body of the car,and sustained entirely by the axles. NO BELTS, SPROCKET-WHEELS AND CHAINS, OR OTHER OBJECTIONABLE MECHANICAL DEVICES USED. The invariable position of the motor shaft with respect to the car-axle permits the use ofthe only trustworthy means—under the circumstances— of transmitting: rotary motion, viz.: Accurately Cut
