18pp and 14 illustrations, softback, £5

Reprint of 1931 London’s Underground publication. Description of the evolution and features of the famous “Feltham” or “Free-circulation car”. ...“the average service speed, including stops, is 12 m.p.h. – the highest service speed yet attained in urban tramway operation. A straight-line acceleration of 20 m.p.h. is effected in twenty seconds; deceleration is equally rapid; and, with the air brake, the car can be brought to rest with the utmost smoothness, even when it is running at high speed.”
