Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 16, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 October 1898 — Compressed Air Motors. [ARTICLE]

Compressed Air Motors.

Compressed air as a motive power is to be practically applied very soon in NewYork on a somewhat extensive scale. By the last of February some twenty-two cars will be put on the lines handling the West Twenty-third and East Thirty-fourth street ferry traffic, all propelled by thia power. The storage reservoirs will be expected to carry enough energy to send each car tit least twenty miles.
