The cables are cleated firmly to thesides of the conduit in such a manner that they are held apartfrom each other notwithstanding the jarring and vibration ofthe car. Where the cables pass over the transoms or other iron workthey are protected with circular loom in addition to the tran-site board.

The frameis split at an angle of 45 degs. The armature isusually changed by removing the top half of themotor casing, and this operation requires onlyabout 30 minutes. If it is desired to change mo-tors rather than armature, the motor may be liftedfrom the truck by simply removing the gear caseand the axle caps.
