Lead-acid batterle* will operate the train* 00 a iuOO foot loop traversing the ternInal, and the engineer* estimate that about 206 per*ona will use the facility during each peek 2 minute period by 1970. It'* all electronically controlled, operating unattended. s DESIGNATED AS THE FIRST RATIONAL ELECTRIC CAB CTHPOSIUH, San Jose State College of Engineering (California) wa* host to about 600 lntereited registrant* recently. A number of impressive paper were given by a variety of professional and govern ment people, but we think the "shew was stolen" by West Penn Power' VP Bill Sturn and his "Little Red Wagon". He didn't actually have It there, but the story of how West Penn decided to do sanething about the electric car, using available material*, had the audience on the edge of their seat*. Mr. Stuns made it clear that his ccmspany was In the power business, not the auto business, but be hoped that the ALLECTRIC would be a challenge to the Industry. SPEAKING OF ELECTRIC CARS (and who Isn't these days) several electrical group* In Japan have test vehicles on the streets. These are conversion* of existing cars, three of the four using lead-acid batterle*, th* other using alkaline (nickel-cadmium) batteries. We have a cccposlte sheet shoving some of the specification* of the** vehicle*; if you would Ilk* to hav* a copy, Just aak.
