The Development Laboratories, Inc. of Santa Monica, California, have developed a novel mechanical transmission suitable for use with flywheel energy storage and they have proposed a control system in principle for applying this method of energy storage to rapid transit cars. The proposed system avoids the worst disadvantages of earlier systems and appears to have enough technical merit to justify consideration for future use. (Author)
