Show F.lectrlc Snow Sweepers. Tho companies manufacturing snow plows and sweepers aro said to be just now overwhelmed with orders. , The value of these appliances in dealing with largo quantities of snow has been so thoroughly demonstrated that improvements improve-ments on even the latest machines are being brought out almost daily. A new snow plow for electric street railways differs in many respects from the old fashioned cylindrical shaped broom, revolving beneath the body of a truck and throwing the snow and dirt in all directions. It consults of an ordinary car truck equipped with two motors, one of which proiels the car while the other revolves two sets of shovels. The snow on the rails is picked up by a cir- ' cnlar box, from which the revolving shovels titke it up and throw it out through a spout. This snow plow can, bo operated equally woll by nighft: by day, and is said not to interfere with the, regular traffic upon the streets. New York Telegram. |
