C- ICntilcr, superintendent of the T (I. Hrlll Company, made the delivery te N T. Ilrewn, diipcrlntcndcnt of utlll i tire for the transit company. The car left the Hrlll enr shops, c!i..einnil utreet nnd Woodland nve- nue at 1 :H0. was towed ever the stir stir fice tracks te Frnnkferd under the itipcrvlsien of Mr. Kablcr nnd Mr. Snccinllv constructed trucks Merc necessary In making the trip, becnuse of the unusual slze of the car, which i$ fifty-five feet long nnd nine and one ene balf feet wide. Ilarcly Clears Obstructions Early morning was selected a- the tlme for the delivery In order te nveld traffic congestion. Hnulcd by n trnnslt company service trolley, the car traveled slowly down Woodland avenue, across the Grays Ferry bridge, down Spruce street nnd ever Third street te Ocrmnntewn ave nue. Thence up Frent street te Oxford street and up Kensington nnd Frankford avenues te the Bridge street shops. In turning into the Grays Ferry bridge from Woodland avenue It wna feared that the car would net elenr a pole, hut it was found there was a rlearance of a fraction of nn inch. At Kensington avenue nnd Nerrls street, where there is" n considerable street crossing elevation, the reef of the car barely passed under the elevated struc ture .. . , Progress at the turns was made cau VimiBiv. iin.i bcvcral mechanics con stantly watched the trucks and the , clearance of the car in passing switches, poles and elevated girders. Calculation Made Carefully "The average person," bald Mr. Brown, "docs net realize the extreme care and delicate calculations necessary te make a delivery of this kind. The route was carefully planned several days age and every precaution was taken against mlshnp." Along the route, early pedestrian' followed the car for short distances te admire Its brightly lighted Interior nnd "wonder nt ita sire. As the car approached the Bridge rtrect shops, a group gathered en the steps of Uic waiting room at Bridge 6trcct welcomed it with cheers. There was some difficulty In getting the car into the new barn, as there nre re overhead wires or third rnlls within thirty feet. It was necessary te run n "fish wlre" from the nearest power line, nnd by bwltching bnck nnd for ward Ne. 503 wns finnlly ledged in the barn at about 5 o'clock. Mr. Knhler said the car Is of the newest and best equipped type, closely resembling these used In Uip subway in New Yerk. The exterior of the enr is green and the Inside white enameled, Tilth vertical nnd Intcral seating ar rangements. The cur hns a feating capacity of about beventy-five persons. Nev Safety. Appliances There arc no openings at the ends of the car except for the trainmen, three doers for taking nnd discharging passen gers being located en each bide about ten feet apart. The doers are controlled by the trainman nt the front of the car, and arc equipped with n safety nppli ance which eliminates nil possibility of pabsengers being cnught uetween the deer and the side of the car. If, In closing, the deer strikes nn obstruction, the power controlling the deer Is Imme diately released nnd the deer autemati cally reopens. Anether feature of the car is n new coupling bcheme which makes it possible te eeupfe and uncouple the cars without a man going between them. Coupling is controlled by u valve nt the front which couples the cars automatically by im pact. Cars can be uncoupled with the same valve. In general appearance the enr some seme whut resembles these new in use en the transit biirfure lines, but vastly longer and wider, being longer by five feet thun t he Market btrcet elevated cars und mere than a feet wider.
