ACCIDENT LED
TO DISCOVERY
Carelossness on Part of Work
man Led to Discovery of
Benefit to Man
At Ihe Vienna oxposilion in
I H7.'J I here occurred one of I In*
nosl fori (male aeeidonts record
ed in (In* history of Iho material
progress of the world. Several
dynamos wit:' lioinp: set tip there.
Ono of (horn was already in op
oral ion, and (ho work moil on Iho
job had just completed Ihe inslal
lalion of another. One of Ihe
men hv miHlako oonnerled Ihe
second dynamo with the ono lhat
was in oporalion. Tcvhis inlonse
astonishment Ihe second dynamo
began to revolve in Iho*reverse
direction, lie lold his fellow]
workmen wlial he had done, and, i
presently I hey were all marveling
at the cjuriniis phenomenon. Then'
the men of science at Ihe expo- 1
sition heard ahonl it, and lhoy|
came and marveled also.
That was Ihe beginning <»f the
development of the electric rail
way, leh starling point of the,
largest of the new, indnslrios—
electric lracliori--which is capi
talized at billions of dollars. For
the electric railway motor is
practically nothing olso hut a dy
namo, whioh reverses when tfio
electric current is passed through !
it. There had boon electric mo
tors f)f one sort or anolher for
more than 50 years before that
accident at the Vienna exposition
revealed the fact that a dynamo
by reverse aotion would become
a motor, but it was not until that
fact was discovered lhat a motor
having the simplicity, compact
ness, strength and durability to
make it, adaptable to the severe j
strain of ordinary railway service
could bu constructed.
So new is tbis industry of rlec
trie. traction, in spite of tbe enor
mous proportions it has attained ;
today, that nearly all of the men j
who are conspicuously identified j
with its development either on lhe|
mechanical or tin? commercial
side, are still active in affairs.
Twenty-live years ago there was
not a mile of eleclrie track in ex
istence anywhere. In the United
States there are alone today 35,
000 miles of eleclrie railroad track
(single), over which are oper
ated 75,000 cars. The electric
railway companies have an an
nual income of approximately
8\ '|0.000,000, and have 250,000
employes on "their salary lists.
They carry ten billion passen
gers a year. Beginning merely
as a substitute for the old horse
car, the electric railway is today
a competitor of the steam rail
road, operating in some parts of
the country over lines 50 to 100
miles in length, running sleep
ing and dining cars and hand
ling freight and mail.
