  • Abstract
    This new all-electric controller for subway cars, completely replacing pneumatic-type contactor and reverser, has many advantages including decreased maintenance, standardization of components, simplification, and reduced weight. Major problems encountered in building and operating sample equipment in 100 New York City Transit System subway cars, are discussed.
