Preliminary tests on first locomotive constructed for use on electrified lines of Henry Ford's Detroit, Toledo and Ironton R. R. indicate that it will have an excellent performance; designed to take current from an a.c. trolley at either 11,000 or 22,000 volts single phase, 25 cycles; this current is stepped down by means of a.c. transformers to 1250 volts, which is fed into a synchronous motor-generator set and converted into d.c. at variable voltage for driving eight series-wound traction motors.
