It is shown that by reducing number of stops, length of standing time, and car weight, by increasing average line voltage, acceleration and braking rates and by changing gear ratio, schedule speeds can be increased nearly 50 per cent; influence of factors mentioned laid down in seven graphic charts. Article is based on address made before Elec. Ry. Assn.
