At the meeting of the Electric Club last night, J. C. Powers '92 was elected to membership. The speaker of the evening was Lieut. J. B. Cahoon from the Thomson Houston Works. With him came several former members of the club now at work in Lynn. The subject of the discussion was the new slow speed car motor. This was described in detail and photographs of the various parts were exhibited. By the new arrangement 10 per cent. less current is required to do a given amount of work, and a speed of forty miles an hour can be obtained. The coils are also placed out of danger from cobblestones, etc., which sometimes seriously injure the present motors. After enlarging on the improvements of the new design for more than an hour, Lieut. Cahoon answered many questions put to him about various subjects. A vote of thanks was given him.
