As a matter of fact the operator is continually shift iug it to ami fro for the purpose of in- j j creasing or decreasing the power, and ( ' a sort of dial, over which the handle | moves, tells hi:n exactly how much electricity lie is calling into play at any , j given moment. All that demands spej cial alertness and attention, while with 1 the brake it is merely a matter of a ' straight pull. !
