Anderson Gives Interesting Address Before Electrical Engi neers. E. H. Anderson/railway motor designer of the General Electric Company talked to the Schenec tady Branch of the Americau In stitute of Electrical Engineers in the High School Auditorium last night. His remarks were of a purely technical nature. He dis cussed the curvee and calculation of railway rooters and described the method of getting at the re quirements of a motor from plans of a new road. His talk covered the considerations by which mo tors are selected. He described a contest between tba engineers of the General Electric Company and the ex perts of the Westinghouse Elec trical Company with two cars equipped with' motors of the two rival designp, the outcome of which would determine which company should get the contract for 1800 motors for use on New York railroads, which anqounted to several million dollars worth of equipment. He told that it was by the methods which he was lay ing before the meeting that the General Electric Company was successful in tho competition. In order to demonstrate his theories moro clearly, Mr. Ander son used charts. After the meet ing had adjourned Mr. Anderson stayed to answer questions. The extre me cold made the'attend ance small. The foregoing is copied from the Schenectady (N. Y.) Union, and the Mr. Anderson referred to is a son of Mrs. E. B. Anderson, and a brother of Mrs. W.-L. Duno vaut, Mrs. Geo F. Mims . and Mr6. M. P. Wells. Mr. Anderson rauks among the foremost electri cians of the country, his opinions and statements concerning elec tricly are accepted without ques tion.
