N A R R O W GAUGE RAILWAYS
Narrow Gauge Railways can be divided into four general classes:
I.
Industrial Railways
II. Portable Railways
III. N a r r o w G a u g e Sidings
IV. N a r r o w G a u g e Public Railroads for Freight a n d Passenger Traffic

Industrial Railroads
drawn out without injury. For this purpose w e supply cast plate
track and floor plates which are cast with a diamond checkered top,
thus affording an excellent foot-hold for the workmen. This will be
appreciated in m a n y factories. In addition, cast plate track and
floor plates are always level, m a y be cleaned with ease, and m a k e
an attractive, durable and sanitary floor.
This term is given to the inter-plant narrow gauge road, which

is formed into a system to facilitate the constant handling of rough,
half-finished andfinishedmaterials, coal and all other commodities.
Such industrial railroads are generally m a d e permanent, that is
when they are laid they are formed into a system that reaches
everywhere desired and are not being constantly changed from

N a r r o w G a u g e Sidings
In some instances plants, quarries, logging camps, etc., are

situated at a distance from railroad facilities on account of cheapness of land, lower taxes, or other reasons, and the quantities to be
transported are too small to warrant the building of a standard

gauge siding. In these cases, we recommend our narrow gauge
siding, which can be installed and Operated at a much lower cost
and serves the same purpose as a standard gatige. W h e n materials
to be transported are of such a nature permitting automatic unloading, d u m p ears can be used to advantage, which m a y run on an
incline situated next the standard gauge railway and unload automatically into the standard gauge car. The power is optional, and
m a y be electric, steam or animal power, and the track is permanent.
IV. Narrow Gauge Public Railroads for Freight
a n d Passengers
In places where the distance is long and the number oi passengers or the amount ol freight to be carried is small, the question <>l
narrow gauge road enters into the situation, as it occupies less space,
costs less to equip and to build the bed, permits of sharp curves,
requires less expensive rails and ties, serving the purpose in every
respect.
\\V have built m a n y such railroads in all parts of the world.
( )ne of these is the longest 24-inch gauge road in the world, located
in Southwest Africa. It has proved very satisfactory and has boon
in successful operation since completion. The track i^ permanent.
W h e n wooden ties are used, the rails are fastened thereto by

means ol spikes or tirefonds. W h e n steel ties are used, the rails are
fastened by our special clips and bolts. Fishplates and bolts m a y
be used in both instances to connect the rails.
Portable Track
The rails are mounted on steel ties for several reasons, the
principal ol which are that they are considerably lighter and that
it affords a simpler and more durable method of fastening, allowing
the sections to be handled continually without injury; whereas rails
spiked on wooden ties become loosened when continually handled,
the rails spread, thus derailing the cars and causing loss ol lime and
danger to the workmen.
Tin- di Herein rail sections are m a d e continuous by means of our
special angle joint which is firmly bolted on one end of the rails
and the c])(\ tic*. T h e ends ol the rails ol the next section can be
readily placed in or out ol these angle joints, thereby eliminating
all bolting in the laying or lilting ol rails. The sections are made up
in 15-foot lengths. Corresponding sections, consisting of curves,
switches, crossings, etc., are also made, and lies are so formed that
they rest on ungraded ground and do not slip or buckle.
Gauge of Track
TRACK
As will be seen Irom the foregoing, it is most desirable that our
customers specify the manner in which track is to be used, that i>
to say, whether it will continue in the location in which it is laid
for an indefinite period (permanent track) or continually be transferred from place to place (portable track).
W e furnish track lor both permanent and portable use.
Permanent Track
Rails m a y be laid on steel or wooden ties, the latter being used
when it is economy to do so, on account ol the nearness of supply.
A n item which .u\<\^ materially to an economical and a practical

transportation system is the selection ol the proper gauge. By the
gaugeismeant the distance between the inner edges of the rail-heads.
A smaller gauge will permit ol shorter curves, requires less spate,
and costs less to maintain than larger gauges.
For most purposes a 24-inch gauge is most desirable, and has
proved practical for long public roads as well as the short
industrial and portable roads. However, in some case's a smaller
gauge, such as IS or 20-inch, or a larger gauge, such as 30, 36 or
42-inch is required. W e are prepared to furnish all gauges, but
recommend IS, 20, 24, 30, 36 and 42-inch as our standard makes.

SPRING SPLIT SWITCHES

Figure 7719 shows a switch operated by a ground throw with spring attachment. T h e
device sets the switch points either w a y and yet allows a car to pass in a direction opposite
to the points without changing the position of the ground throw and without danger of
derailing the car.
This advantage is secured through the operation of the spring attachment which holds
the point rails tight against cither side to which the points are thrown. Cars going in the
opposite direction to that in which the points arc set simply press the points a w a y from the
main rail and pass on, allowing the points to return to the position in which they were set.

Figure 7 7 3 0 T h e action of this Spring Split Switch is the same as that described above,
with the exception that this switch cannot be set to either side, but leaves the track open for
one w a y only, as there is no ground throw.
This Spring Split Switch is used chiefly in such places as passing sidings, or turnouts,
where it is intended to automatically switch cars in one direction only, permitting them to
trail out w h e n passing in the opposite direction.

Fig. 48
H o w to Ascertain the Frog Number

T h e number of a frog is the ratio of its length to its width,
i. c, the quotient of its length, divided by its width.
T h u s in the abovefigureif the length A B from point to heel
of frog is 5 feet or 60 inches, and the width H of the heel is 15
inches, the number of the frog is the quotient of 60 15 =4.
A method of determining the frog number is to measure the
entire length L of the frog, from mouth to heel, and divide this
length by the s u m of the mouth-width T and the heel-width H ,

the quotient will be the exact number o I" the frog.
For example, if in the above figure the total length L of the
frog is 7 feet 4 inches or 88 inches, and the width H is 15 inches,
and the width T of the mouth is 7 inchcs, then the frog number is
88 inches: (15 + 7) = 4 . Frogs are known by their numbers.

the holes of the ties, so preventing the possibility of the rails spreading and allowing the cars

1729, or by plain joints as shown in Fig. 1495. The shoes are held in position and connected
to the rail ends by one bolt. These shoes have a shelf at the outer end withflarededges, so that
the next section of track can be dropped down on this shelf and easily pushed into position.
The rail shoes are provided with holes in the base, so that any dirt collecting in them drops
out instead of being pushed back into the shoe. Plain joints, as shown in Fig. 1405, are generally
used where the track does not have to be moved very often.

"IDEAL" C L U T C H B O L T T R A C K
W e supply this Track in sections as shown by Fig. 1375, either completely mounted on
Steel Ties and fitted with Rail Connection, or shipped knocked down, arranged for ocean
transportation.
This Track can be supplied in any length desired, but not longer than 30 feet.
TIES
W e supply Steel Tics, as shown in above Fig. 15027, of 4 1 x-inch width for rails of 12
to 14 lbs. per yard, 5-inch width for rails of 14 to 20 lbs. per yard.
These "Ideal" Ties have no holes whatsoever and consequently do not lose anything in
weight or strength. This is one of the greatest features, and there is no other type of portable
track which offers the salne advantage.
FASTENING OF RAILS TO THE TIES

This is performed by our special Bracket and Clutchbolt as shown by Figs. 1375 and 15027.
The Bracket is riveted to the Tie on the inside of the rail, so that the rails are kept free from
tilting outwardly under the wheel pressure.
THESE BRACKETS
are made of pressed Steel, reinforced with ribs, so that they cannot spring or bend.
Fig. 1496
THE CLUTCHBOLT
has a threaded nut tilted up, so that a socket wrench can be used to tighten it up when the Tie
is lying on the ground.
W h e n the Clutchbolt is drawn up tight by nut, it bears against the lower part of the Track,
so that it is held rigidly and the Track can be lifted by the rails without their moving.
CONNECTIONS OF SECTIONS
This is performed by our "Ideal" Rail Shoe, as shown below by Fig. 1376. It can also
be arranged by plain Joints, as shown above by Fig. 140d.
RAIL S H O E
S a m e is made of Pressed Steel and goes all around the base and web of the rail, thus effect ing a great strengthening of the joint and affording quicker mounting and dismounting. T h e
rail shoe has a shelf on the ground end withflarededges, so that the next section of Track can
be dropped down on this shelf and easily pushed into position without troublesome shifting
to justfitthe shoe; see illustration Fig. 1248. It is provided with an open hole in the base, so
that any dirt collecting in same, drops out instead of being pushed back into the Shoe, which
would keep the rails from coming together. T h e Shoe is provided with two bolt holes which
are reeommcndablc to use when the Track remains permanent. O n e bolt hole only m a y be
used when the Track will have to be shifted a great deal.

our special riveted track with pressed steel ties having closed ends
is advisable.
Such track retains its gauge and will not shift sideways under

TRACK: We supply this track in sections as shown by Fig.

15026, consisting of standard American first-class steel rails, weighing 8, 9, 10, 12, 14 or 16 lbs. per yard and in sections of any length
desired, standard length being 15' or 5m., riveted either on steel
dished (fish belly type), steel channel or corrugated steel ties.
JOINTS: Fach joint consists of one pair of "hybrid" fishplates riveted to one rail, whilst a soleplate is riveted to the other
rail, projecting sufficiently to support the end of the corresponding
rail ol the next section as shown above.
Page
GAUGF: The gauge of the track is usually 500 or 600mm.,

respectively 2 0 " or 24", but any intermediate gauge can also be
supplied.
L A Y I N G T H E T R A C K : T h e ends of two sections are simply
placed together on the ground and thefishplateswill then act as
guides and as a lock between the heads of the rails and soleplates,
thus forming at once a joint sufficiently rigid and secure to enable
the track to be used as a temporary track. For permanent use, the
sections should be bolted together with thefishplatebolts, which we
supply with the Track.

Triple body cars as shown on this page in Figs. 14877 and 14864 have
been supplied by us to a number of Railroads, Street Car Companies, Mines,
etc., for the transportation of stone and other loose material.
The car is a double-side d u m p car mounted on double trucks and having
three V-shaped bodies. The car is generally built for standard gauge and with a
capacity of 12 to 18 cubic yards, each body having a capacity of 4 to 6 cubic
yards. The bodies operate individually, having no connection or relation to
each other. Operated in this way they are very easily dumped. This construction also has an advantage in the event of the car becoming damaged, inasmuch
as a body that is damaged and rendered inoperative does not interfere with the
operation ol the other two-thirds of the car. The damaged body can be removed and another body substituted. These cars can be equipped with hand
and air brakes. M.C.B. automatic couplers and spring draft gear.

STANDARD ALL AROUND AND END DUMP CARS
With Square Bodies
Cars as shown herewith in Figs. 14927 and 14928 are built in capacities ranging from 12 to
27 cubic feet. They are especially designed for use in mines, tunnels and for other services where
small over-all dimensions are an important factor on account of the usual small entries and sharp
curves.
In order to secure a m a x i m u m capacity, the bodies are built rectangular. They are fastened
on the frame and running gear by a strong hinge. The cars are provided with doors, which arclatched and unlatched from the rear of the car. This latter feature is of great advantage, as it
makes it unnecessary for the operator to approach the dump, an operation which is often both
difficult and dangerous.
W e supply these cars with square axles and cast-steel wheels with rollers in hub as described
on page 56

C H A R G I N G S Y S T E M for building Concrete Roads, as
used in the construction of General Coleman du Pout's
Memorial to the State of Delaware.
In order to provide an economical system for building concrete roads, the K O P P E L C O M P A N Y has
developed equipment which makes the transporation
of the concrete aggregates from the sourcewhich may
be quarry or standard gauge switchinto the mixer
almost automatic, also eliminates the rehandling and
loss of material, which were caused by the old system,
where the stone and sand were piled along the road.
Various kinds of mixers can be used in conjunction
with this K O P P E L S Y S T E M , and in some cases the
separate crane is omitted, while a boom is attached
directly to the mixer. (See line drawing on page 67).
As can be seen from the plan shown above, a narrow gauge railway is laid from the storagebins to the mixer. Back of the mixer, a distance equal to a day's work, a switch is located, and
Irom this switch to the mixer two tracks run forward
The material is loaded at the bins in correct proportions into steel buckets (improved
type) which rest on trucks. These trucks are hauled to the mixer, a crane or derrick located
between the tracks lifts one bucket to the loading skip, dumps it and swings the empty bucket
over, and places it on a truck on the other track. After both loaded buckets from one truck
are empty, the crane lifts the truck over to the other track. (Continued on page 67 I.

Gentlemen:-
Koppel, Pa., of one square box double side dump-4 yd. capacity Dump car, the
With reference to the 16 Care of the Koppel standard

type, 4/yd. capacity, for gauge of 36", 2-way dump, which we recently
purchased from you, it will perhaps be gratifying for you to know
that these care are serving us most satisfactorily.
The principal
points about this car, which, in our opinion, make this the best car
we have ever used, are:The very large area of the body, making tne load of
this car by steam shovel very easy.
The low loading height of the car and its wellbalanced construction, which make it wholly stable.
We have never yet handled a car of any type which is
more easily dumped than yours.
In the dumping of this car, with an
ordinary heaped load, the body practically goes over of itself on the
releasing of the chains; the load is immediately diecharged and the
operator, taking advantage of the rebound of the body is able to
easily bring the body baok to position.
We are running these cars at present in trains of 6
and the 6 cars are readily dumped and righted to position in 2 minutee,
which we consider very satisfactory.
The combination hinge and rocker device, which you
have designed for this car has proven equal to the several claims
you have made, and we find that the combination of acute dumping angle,
low loading height and the throwing out of the material clear of the
body and track is of very great value for a car in railroad and steam
shovel service.
The steel underframe construction is the best of any
we have ever seen, although when this was first on our work, it was
a bit rigid.
This stiffness, however, has been worked out.
Should we ever again require any equipment of this
type, you may be assured that the order will be plaoed for "Koppel"
equipment.
McLean-Francisco, Co.
Very truly yours,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
same having been loaded in P. R. R. car 278284 and shipped Jan. 24th,- 1912.
We wish to thank you sincerely for the use of this car during
the time you had it with us for a "try-out".
The car was used here for hauling clay, gravel,and loose earth
only. We find that it is an excellent car, very much better than the
average two way dump car It has an exceptionally well built truck, the
bed rests solidly on the truck, the bed Is low and stoutly built. The
car dumps very easily when loaded and returns to the upright position with
ease. When dumped the material runs out freely and the bed In dumped
position clears the dumped material very nicely. In dumping any car, we
find that the initial lift requires the most men, thle Is greatly alleviated by the manner in which you have your bed supported n the truck.
Our shovel engineers say it is a very nice car to load as the bed is low
and broad and long thus obviating the necessity of getting the dipper so
exactly above the center of the car and also preventing much of the spilling over the sides of the car when loading. The oar alBO has a strong tendency to stick to ths track. It is self-evident that when you built the
GfojQ.
car, you had a single mind for the user of the car only.

There are no standard designs for these cars as the conditions, under which the cars are
to be used, vary practically in every case and depend upon the material to be transported,

Our patent mine car bumper as shown in the accompanying cuts,
permits the use of the all steel mine car with its well-known advantages and at the same time provides it with a resilient wood bumper.
The wood planks, which compose these bumpers, are enclosed
at the sides and rear by steel sills, preferably Z-shaped, which are
riveted to the steel floor of the car by their upper flanges and hold
the bumper planks by the lower ones.
This construction stiffens the floor of the car and transfers the
buffing shocks to it without danger of damage, also permits the
repair and replacement of the bumper planks with a m i n i m u m of
time and labor.
Fig. 54
Fig. 55
For mine cars with outside bearings our patent pedestal, as

shown in the accompanying cuts, provides the most efficient construction.
It ties the sills and body together and protects the journal boxes,
by means of its outwardly projecting ribs, from being damaged by
pieces of rock or other debris which m a y lie along the track.

LOGGING CARS
T h e logging camps in the various districts and states use m a n y

different types of logging cars and hence standard designs cannot
be spoken of. W e want to show different types of logging cars
designed by us. W e build these cars of any type and for any capacity
required.
Cars shown in Fig 161 are built for light service; each truck
has a capacity of 2 to 3 tons; they are used only for traction with
animal power
Fig. 161
Trucks as shown in Fig. 14101, are mostly used at the Pacific

Coast and are built for capacities up to 50 tons. They have been
specially designed, for the requirements of the Pacific Coast logging
camps, after careful study.
Page 116
LOGGING CARS
Cars as shown in Fig, 14100 are built for capacities up to 50
tons. The trucks are built entirely of steel and iron, while the superstructure can be either made of wood or steel.
Fig 14100
Fig. 7697 shows a logging car with a simple device that

allows the uprights, which hold the lower tiers of the logs in
position, to be released from a distance and the load thus rolled
off without danger ol injury to the workman.

Fig. 7699 shows a combination o\ two individual trucks.

The trucks, when used together, are connected by means of a
coupling beam. These trucks are built light but very rigid.
The retaining device or bolster, which takes the place of
stakes, is pivoted. Either truck m a y be used independently as
a unit.

These buckets are designed primarily for handling concrete and such other materials, which make it necessary for the operator to control discharge of the contents.
O n account of the long opening, which can be m a d e as narrow as desired, these
buckets are particularly well adapted for use infillingnarrow concrete forms. They
arc provided with legs which permit lowering of the bucket on to framework so that
it will not swing out of position while the contents are being poured into the forms.
The legs allow setting of these buckets on the ground where they- will stand in upright position for loading and prevent damage to the door when being lowered onto the

The spokes are T-shape in section, which is the strongest and lightest shape that can be
used for wheel spokes. T h eflangesare extra large, which is a safeguard against derailment.
All wheels are carefully bored; constructed with wide tread, so as to insure smooth running.

Cast Iron Wheel for Brick and

Most of our cars, with the exception of our standard brick cars, are equipped with cast steel
wheels. W e also attach them to brick cars when desired." Cast steel is tougher and stronger
than cast iron. Blows that would in m a n y cases completely crack a cast iron wheel would have
no effect on our cast steel wheels.

PRESSED STEEL GUSSET PLATE

FOR BRICK AND DRYER CARS
T h e Figs. 12009 and 12010 shoyv our special pressed steel gusset plates for
inside and outside uprights.
These plates provide a perfectly rigid support for the uprights and absolutely
prevent rocking in any direction. This gusset brace has the unqualified approval
of m a n y brick manufacturers, w h o state that it is the most rigid and yet the most
simple brace they have ever seen on any dryer car.
T h e advantages of our pressed steel plate over a casting are:
FirstIt is not possible to m a k e a castingfitneat and close, and therefore
there will always be rocking in all directions and poor support for the uprights
when a cast brace is used.
SecondOur pressed steel gusset brace is m a d e the same size as the cast
piece, but the material used permits the assembler to h a m m e r all edges tight to
connected parts; this, of course, cannot be done with a cast brace.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES AND ELECTRIC DRIVEN CARS
INTRODUCTION
WE show here a few typical designs of electric driven cars, locomotives and storage
batter)-industrial trucks which have been developed by us in our work as builders of
industrial and narrow gauge railroads.
Electric locomotives and electric driven cars and trucks are the ideal means of handling
material in any plant whose extensive character, quantity and bulk of material handled,
or distance from a source of raw material or shipping point, is such as to preclude the use of
hand-pushed cars.
A s compared with steam or gasoline locomotives they' minimizefirerisks, give uniform
tractive effort, have higher overload capacity, require no attention; consume no power in
intervals of loading and unloading, and do not require skilled mechanics as operators.
W h e r e it is inadvisable to install trolley wires on account of overhead cranes, clearances,
etc., storage battery power-supply should be used.
During the last few years the designs of storage batteries have been developed to a
point where they can stand severe vibration, jarring, etc., without being damaged and it is,
therefore, possible to use them to great advantage on small locomotives and cars.
In a large number of industrial plants, warehouses, brick plants, etc., it is not possible
to install an industrial railroad by means of which all points can be reached and for such
conditions we have designed the E L E C T R O M O B I L E , a storage battery industrial truck.
These trucks, on account of their short turning radius, can be operated wherever material
can be hand-trucked.
In connection with these electric driven cars w e m a k e everything in railway material
and our Engineering Department will be pleased to give you any technical information and
prices on either our standard material or special material suited to your needs.

These engines have proven beyond dispute, on road work throughout the country, that
they are the most practical and satisfactory locomotive for this purpose, because of the following facts:
Ample Power without Excessive Weight.
Derailment troubles practically eliminated clue to Underslung Water Tank, Low Center
of Gravity and Special Spring Suspension Arrangement.
Upkeep and Adjustment reduced to a Minimum by a Construction designed for Users
who do not have fully equipped Factory Facilities.
Depreciation very low because only carefully selected, best quality material and highest
grades of workmanship are used.
Latest and most improved Features, including "Walschaert" Valve Motion, Balanced
Valves, Force Feed Lubrication, All Copper Firebox, Copper Stay Bolts, Outside Throttle,
All Steel Side Door Cab with closed-in Back Wall, and many other advantageous details resulting from our exceptional experience as Pioneers in developing Portable Railways for Highway Construction.
A number of these engines in 24" gauge are always kept in stock.

HYDRAULIC PIPE SECTIONS

Diameters and Lengths According to Specifications
Pipe, in telescopic courses as above illustrated, is made by us in

sections of any diameter and length desired, from plate steel with riveted
lap seams. T h e longitudinal seams are double riveted, while the circumferential seams are single riveted. All shop rivets are driven hot by
hydraulic machinery. Edges of plates are carefully sheared and beveled
for caulking all around. All seams, joints and scarfs are caulked inside
and outside. In each individual case this pipe is tested, and painted to
meet requirements.

T h e simplicity of their construction renders these trucks superior to any other kind. This simplicity, combined with the great strength of these trucks, makes repairs practically
unnecessary, and reduces the cost of their maintenance to an insignificant figure. Less costly hand trucks are more expensive.

Introduction
Storage Battery Trucks and Tractors, which are often used in connection with Trailers
and Special Bodies particularly designed for the purposes required, have conclusively proven
their worth in and about Railroad Stations, Steamship Docks, Factories, Warehouses, etc.
These machines, which have been brought to perfection by T H E E L E C T R O M O B I L E C O M P A N Y of St. Louis, Mo., after exhaustive experiments and practical trials covering a period of
about four years, are built exclusively by the
Koppel Industrial Car and Equipment Co.

The K O P P E L I N D U S T R I A L C A R A N D E Q U I P M E N T CO. is a 100 per cent. American

concern, owned by the P R E S S E D S T E E L C A R C O M P A N Y of P I T T S B U R G H , Pa., which
latterfirmpurchased the former Orenstein-Arthur Koppel C o m p a n y enterprise from the

The ELECTROMOBILE Storage Battery Trucks, Tractors, Trailers and Special Bodies
are very economical in operation and maintenance. These machines are fool-proof, and can be
easily handled with maximum efficiency by unskilled labor, male or female.
In every case where used during the last several years, the highly efficient ELECTRO
BILE Trucks, Tractors, etc. have, within a short period, paid for themselves through actual
savings, effected in time and wages.

means of a strong and unique construction
consisting of a radius rod affixed to the
center hanger of the countershaft and
extending through a collar which is
clamped over the hub of the motor.
Riveted to the side sills of the truck over
each axle are two malleable iron pedestals

springs of ample size and strength to take
care of all weights and roatl shocks.
T h e rear axle is roundof large section, the front axle of I-Beam section with
drop-forged steering knuckles at each

these knuckles and are joined by a steering cross behind the axle.
A steering ball cast integral with the
right hand steering arm on a vertical, upward extension engages a steering ball

Operating
Lever
This lever, and a similar lever opposite arc supported by malleable iron uprights which extend
through the platform and are riveted to the frame. A bell crank held at the lower extremity of the
left hand upright connects through rods to a second lever which engages a large sector gear on the
controller and causes the truck to move forward or backward.
Brake Pedal
The truck however, cannot be started unless the operator stand upon the brake pedal, conveniently located on the operating platform. Standing on this brake pedal releases the brake which is
normally held tight on the brake drum of the differential by a tension spring. When the brake is
released a non-arcing switch drum in the controller is revolved and closes the circuit between the
battery and controller.
Pedal Lock
The simple act of taking the foot off the brake pedal cuts off the current, applies the brake and
stops the truck, and at the same time locks the brake pedal so that the truck cannot be again started
at the speed stopped by stepping on the brake pedal. To release the brake pedal, the controller handle
must lie in the neutral position.

Resistance
M a n y items usually slurred upon similar machines are carefully attended to upon this truck.
The resistance through which speeds are controlled is of standard make enclosed by a perforated
sheet iron box.

Charging
Wiring.
The exclusive arrangement of wiring of the Electromobile is such that the fuse is taken out when
charging and the controller handle can be left in any position while the truck charges, and the truck
cannot be started. T h e wires from the controller run directly into the motor.
Changing A further convenience of the truck is that the batteries are so wired and arranged that it is

only necessary to loosen the terminal lugs to lift the battery out of the cradle. T h e removing of
batteries is only occasioned when the truck operates continually for twenty-four hours, in which
case an extra battery must be used.
Battery
Capacity.
T h e trucks have ample capacity for a full days work on one charge with a single battery.
Batteries are operated in series, doing away with any possibility of cells in one half of battery being
out of balance with those of other half as is often the case when batteries are operated in seriesmultiple. T h efirstand second speeds only, are made by using resistance and these speeds are
seldom used.

The Type EJ Tractor is a modification of the standard Electromobile Tractor
type E, and is specially adapted for use when service is continuous and when the
operator is not required to couple and uncouple Trailers. The standard Electromobile design has been adhered to in the EJ Tractor, the parts having been rearranged to suit the driver's sitting position. The capacity, speed, weight, wheel

The Tractor illustrated above was designed for a Union Terminal Station, where
heavy loads have to be hauled for a long distance. The "double control" makes it
unnecessary for the operator to turn the Tractor around at the end of the run, he merely
changes his seat and runs the Tractor in the opposite direction. Specifications follow:

Electromobile L u m b e r Tractor
Just as the Electromobile Crane Truck consists of a standard Electromobile and a standard
make of Jib Crane, so does the Lumber Tractor consist of a standard Electromobile Tractor type
EJ and a detachable Lumber Bolster, the main part of which is a standard heavy caster and caster
wheel.
The lumber is carried on the usual two-wheeled Lumber Buggie and the long end rests on the
Electromobile Lumber Bolster to which it is fastened by chains. The Electromobile Lumber Bolster is so designed that, besides being attachable to the rear end of type EJ or EJS, it may be
attached to the front end of any standard type of Electromobile, thus providing an efficient means
for the occasional hauling of long material such as pipe or structural steel.

It is often found to be more convenient to push cars running on industrial railroad track,
rather than to pull them by means of an Electromobile. For this purpose, the Tractor (or any other
standard type of Electromobile) is equipped with heavy steel plate bumpers, as shown opposite,
in Fig. 1703. Besides serving their purpose as bumpers, these heavy steel plates also afford the
necessary protection for the driver and the battery required when the Electromobile is used for
switching and spotting cars.

operation.
All Koppel Special Bodies are self-clearing,
and it is not necessary to rake out or shovel out
the material.
It is not necessary for the driver to leave the
platform to dump the bodies. Dumping is
accomplished from the platform by simple and
trouble-proof mechanism.
Removing
Bodies
Lifting hooks on each end of body permit it

to be removed easily lor access to batteries
through special door in platform.
Material
Every particle of material which goes into

these bodies has been selected because 40 years
of experience has proved that material to be
the best adapted for the continuous performance of its particular duty.
Construction
The same care is given to the construction of

these bodies as is devoted to the other Industrial Transportation devices which have made
Koppel equipment standard throughout the
engineering profession.

Electromobile Trailers
Constitute the logical solution of the many baffling transportation problems arising daily in overcrowded Industrial
Plants and Freight Terminals.
One Tractor and Six Trailers will do the work of three carrier
or elevating platform trucks and cost less, and the Tractor never
needs to stand idle.
Designed and built by acknowledged experts in thefieldof

Industrial Transportation, these devices yield a degree of efficiency hitherto unknown.
One of our lightest Electromobiles has been operated continuously for twenty-four hours a day (stopping only for change
of battery) for several years, displacing ten laborers.
The special construction of these Electromobile Trailers makes them the most durable trucks
on'the market.
The frame is made of 3-inch rolled channel
section, connected by rolled angles. The bolsters
are reinforced by '-4-inch cover plates and are
provided with pressed steel center plates. The
trucks also are constructed of rolled channel
shapes in sizes to suit the different diameter of
wheels specified by customers. The T-Handle is
made so that the trailer m a y be moved by hand,
and the standard Electromobile coupler is made
to suit this T-Handle construction. The swivel
trucks are radially connected, which construction makes them follow the tractor perfectly on
any curve or sharp turn. Wheels are provided
with roller bearings and can be furnished with
rubber tires when desired.

ELECTROMOBILES IN OPERATION
W h e n we placed this machine on the market, w e had only one excuse for
so doing.
W e didn't say, " B u y the Electromobile because it is the most modern
method ol transportation in and around manufacturing plants, warehouses,
etc.," although of course it is.
W e didn't say " B u y the Electromobile because it will make a good impression on chance visitors."
W e didn't say, " B u y the Electromobile because it is new and novel."
W e simply said, "The Electromobile will save you time and money," and
proved it; that is the big reason w h y so m a n y Electromobiles arc in service
and the only reason w h y you should use them n o w a reason that is stronger
than ever before and constantly becoming more powerful.
The Electromobile is the most modern, the neatest and most unobtrusive
method of hauling in itsfield,but these advantages are only incidental and
secondary to the money, time and labor saving feature of this device.
With an Electromobile haulage system you will be practically independent

of labor conditions in this department at all times. Emergencies of all other
characters will also find you always well prepared to meet them.
The Electromobile cannot be overworked, or as one user puts it, "It will
stand a remarkable amount of abuse."
The harder you use it and the busier you keep it, the sooner it will pay for
itself and begin to show a profit for you.
If the Electromobile displaces only T W O laborers, it will pay for itself in
a year.
It never gets tired; you can work it twenty-four hours per day every day
in the year if you wish, and it will unfailingly do all that is expected of it year
in and year out.
The following pages demonstrate actual instances of Electromobile laborsaving service instances which speak for themselves.

Standard C u t l e r - H a m m e r Rheostat for Charging
Lead Batteries from Direct Current Line
The Cutler-Hammer Mfg. Company has made, specially for the Electromobile, an Automatic Charging Rheostat, for charging lead batteries. It is arranged to charge
at three rates, slowmediumfast, by means of a single
pole switch touching three contacts. This Rheostat has a
self-closing, low current cut-out that a failure of line voltage
causes to operate, thus saving battery from discharging
into line; a rise again of line voltage restarts current, thus
insuring a charge of battery. The Rheostat also has an

battery at low rate.
The Rheostat is equipped with double pole line switch and fuses.
It will charge two type A or C trucks at one time. These Rheostats
are made for 115 and 230 Volts Direct Current.
For charging Edison Batteries, either Cutlcr-1 lammer or Electric
Products Company's Rheostat, specially designed for that purpose, will
be furnished.
