Building an Electric C'arriage.
A novelty among vehlieles in this
country, an electric carriage, is now
beinig coni)strucllted at the faet'rv of
IM. W. Qutinlan, in Brookline. Mass.,
front plans drawn front a photograph
of a similar carriage in nresent use in
London. The battery contains thirty.
two cells,aoid is jplaced in the rear end
of the body of 4ileo carriage. The
motor, which is of foreign manutfao
ture, rests between the hitd springs,
where it is attached to the body by
two hinge clasps in such a manner as
to allow it to swing when the motion
of the carriage is irregular, although
this swing is regulated by a connect
ing rod. The driving shfts of the
miotor extetd on eithcir side ibeyond
lthe sprinigs, and are fitted wilh cog
wheel attachittents which coninect by
atln endless chlati with larger cogwheels
on the inner side of the rear wheels.
Thie steering apparatus is on the left
side of the carriage platform. In case
of accildent to the amotor, shafts can be
litted to the c:u'riage, and horses at.
tached. When comnileted, tie whole
carriage will weighl about 2500
