21,551. Rice, E. W. March 26, [date claimed under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Drawings to Specification. Electric locomotives and motor vehicles.-Relates to the master controller arrangements for the motor controllers on electrically-propelled trains, whereby the latter are positively actuated in both directions by a pilot motor which is supplied with current by the propelling-motors acting as generators when the main current falls. All the collectors on the train are connected to a common wire, to obviate temporary loss of current at any one of them. The general arrangement of the connections is shown in the Specification.
