Reseña del editor

This handbook has been compiled with a view of bringing together, in convenient fonn, a simple description of modem electric tramcars, and to give instruction regarding the proper operation of these vehicles on the road. The recent great development of electric tramway systems in this country has occasioned a wide-spread demand for capable and intelligent men to act as motormen, and in the car sheds and depots of the various companies and corporations a large and increasing number of engineers and assistants find daily employment. Information is given in the following pages which will be useful to men wishing to qualify for positions as motormen who are at present gaining practical experience in operating cars for the first time. It will also be of assistance to those readers who are earning a livelihood at such work, and who desire to know more about the vehicles under their charge, with the view of becoming more expert at their work or securing promotion to better positions on the staff. To men engaged in car depots and repair sheds the chapters dealing with car equipments and apparatus will be of interest, as also the chapter relating to faults and breakdowns, and may assist them to more fully understand the machinery under their care and indicate the precautions necessary to ensure its proper working.
