The construction gang-has run a temporary bridge over it and has been dumping earthon both sides in hopes of causing the earth to settle beforethey began to fill. The earth has settled under the center ofthe culvert and the middle of the great piece of work is sink-ing. The route will be changed to meet this new difficulty, thenew one running through a neck of solid ground so that it willbe possible to fill over the new culvert.

[Vol. XXVII. No. 4. REPAIR SHOP PRACTICES OF THE MONTREAL STREETRAILWAY By gradual growth the shops of the Montreal Street RailwayCompany have come to include a complete car-building plant, an extensive machine shop and foundry in which the company. PARTIALLY COMPLETED FIELD COIL, SHOWING WRAPPINGS, MONTREAL STREET RAILWAY SHOPS makes most of the supply parts required by the mechanicaldepartments, and a well-equipped repair shop for making re-pairs to cars, trucks and electrical equipment. The plant as awhole is somewhat larger than is usually found in connection necessary to operate cars for extended periods with severalinches of water over the tracks. The necessity for using salton the track in considerable quantities makes the situation allthe harder on electrical equipment. To counteract these con-ditions, the master mechanic, Nelson Graburn, has been givingspecial attention to ways and means of fortifying fields andarmatures against the excessive moisture, and has developedcoils both for fields and armatures that are believed to be asnearly waterproof as human ingenuity can make them. Thedetails may prove interesting to other master mechanics whoare contending with similar conditions. , The proce
