A now nil-electric car hns just been introduced in tho "United Stntos, whero tho use of such cars for both passenger and commercial work is on n much larger scale than elsewhere. So far as can be gathered, tho now car emlwdies the usual motor and storngo battery, tho points that aro new being of a technical nature in connection with tho motor. It has a revolving field magnet ring, which is geared through spur wheels to ono shaft of the livo axle, the armature being geared to the other axle. Thus both members of tho motor «y>j(cm rotate instead of only the armature, and as the torque of each member is enual, a differential is dispensed with. It is cluimed for this design of motor that it can give twice the output, of power as i compared with the ordinary typo of ' motor of the same weight.
