Text Appearing Before Image:
The MILLERTrolley Shoe The best and last word in current collec-tion at minimum wheel and wire cost Hardly a year has gone by since the Miller Trolley Shoewas placed on the market to demonstrate that the principleof sliding contact so successfully used abroad—and adoptedin the pantograph form for the heaviest work in thiscountry—could also be adapted for Use with Existing Trolley Poles and Bases Today hundreds of cars on scores ofrailways of every character of service areusing the Miller Trolley Shoe—and usingit successfully through making suchchanges as lowering the trolley base ten-sion and instructing platform men howto operate under special work and toback up. Wherever the principle of the MillerTrolley Shoe has been correctly appliedand fairly followed up, the user reportsa life far in excess of tjie trolley wheeland a wire-wear that is less than it wouldbe with a higher-tension contact that doesnot hug the trolley mire as tenaciously asthe Miller Trolley Shoe.
Text Appearing After Image:
Among the many important benefits ofsliding contact obtained by means of the MillerShoe are the following: No smashing down of overhead and conse-quent breakage of trolley wire— No arcing at spans or burning of trolleywire— No limitation on the use of composition orsteel contact wire trolley— No bent trolley poles or bruised car roofs;and NO TRAFFIC INTERRUPTIONS DUE TO DEWIREMENTS.
