American, exchanges (says the Gisborne Times) show that complete data regarding the Edison storage battery system will soon be available in New Zealand. Mr Ambrose Reeves Harris, for the past two years assistant chief of the Edison Storage Battery Research Laboratory, has left the United States for New Zealand. Mr' Harris, who was bom in New Zealand, is expected to arrive here in November or early in December. The various controversies that have appeared in the Gisborne, Palmerston, New Plymouth and Wnnganui papers about tram systems have all come under the personal"notice of Mr Edison, and the step of sending a qualified representative to Australasia has been taken at his suggestion, Mr Harris will bring with him complete drawings of all types of storage battery ears of the latest designs, including the double truck railway type, a Con-
tinental, » centre entrance, and a "hobble skirt" type, and possibly a steel battery car. The newly-design-ed oars are, it is stated, bo equipped that a discharged set of cells oan be replaced with a fully charged set in two minutes.
