In 1971 the Cleveland Transit System received a grant contract from the Department of Transportation's Urban Mass Transportation Administration to test, demonstrate and evaluate a solid state AC propulsion system on three rapid transit cars. The retrofit process is described and illustrated in detail. The car check-out program to verify system performance is also described and specific problems and solutions discussed. The problems and unusual difficulties encountered in the pre revenue service effort are summarized in the report. The installation of a car carried computer based data acquisition system is described and the problems encountered in this unique effort enumerated.
