Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edison System of Electric Railways The overhead trolley wire for the conveyance of the energy of the dynamos to the motors upon the cars of street railways is the only method yet devised which is thoroughly satisfactory. Underground conduits for the bare wire or working conductor, though put in without regard to cost, and given every opportunity for success, when practically operated and subjected to rain, snow, mud, ice and the accidents of everyday use, have in most instances proved to be failures. In Boston and other cities, where they have been installed on a large scale, their use has been abandoned for the present. The underground conduit with an open slot is necessarily more complicated and is liable to interruptions during heavy storms, owing to the difficulty of drainage. The feeder wires or main conductors are now in many cases placed underground in waterproof insulated tubes, leaving only the trolley wire or working conductor suspended over the track. This construction is is now used by the Edison Company where objections are raised to the ordinary overhead methods, and has been in successful practical operation for a long time on several of the most extensive plants in the country. The most economical and practical method of current distribution now in use, is the Single Trolley overhead system, and that system of overhead wiring for railway purposes, which is the least obtrusive, the lightest, and the least complicated is the most desirable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years of Edison Service, 1882-1922: Outlining the Growth and Development of the Edison System in New York City We have been very fortunate in securing, for the preparation of this volume, the service of one who has been closely identified with the electrical growth of the past forty years; one who is, of all, best acquainted with the life work of the great inventor; one who has contributed in no small measure to the development of the industry through his untiring effort, the clearness and breadth of his vision and the agency of his gifted pen. In reviewing the history of these forty years, the purpose has been not to present an engineering or technical review, but rather to record some reminiscences and portray the progress of the period largely from the human standpoint, indicating how - as opportunity has risen - Edison's earliest achievements have grown, and adapted themselves to the ever-increasing demands of an appreciative public. The author brings into this volume so much of his enthusiastic admiration for the master mind of our industry and his intimate acquaintance with the subject, that our own part of the undertaking has been of the lightest nature. In this tribute to the great accomplishments of Edison in the Central Station field we add our appreciation and sense of obligation to the writer of this volume - Mr T Commerford Martin.
