Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 38, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 May 1894 — Edison’s Answer. [ARTICLE]

Edison’s Answer.

You ask me about tho tricity. It Is the coming motive power. It will be used on all railroads some day, but the point is to get an economical engine. My theory is to have immense dynimos located all along the line of the road and hare the electricity conveyed from these stationary engines to tho locomotives by wires through the rails. For example, I .vould put two big engines between Sew York and Philadelphia and enough power could be furnished to whisk the limited at the rata of 100 miles por hour.
