Text Appearing Before Image:
ionized in a fewyears, even if he is not replaced earlier by someone else. Exactly the equivalent of this is true of electricrailways, although the results are not so marked be-cause the organizations are smaller and the broadpolicies of practical economics do not have to be siftedthrough so many hands before reaching the active offi-cial who is supposed to apply them. Every railwayman, for example, admits that standard cars wouldsave 10 per cent in first cost, but the importance of thesaving doesnt loom as large to him as it would if themoney came out of his pocket instead of some bankersfund. Some day, perhaps, the bankers will find this out;then there will be a change. It will be hard to prove tothe man who provides the cash for the equipment thatminor differences in car lengths and other equipmentdimensions are worth the thousands of dollars whichthey cost annually. Then, beyond a doubt, real stand-ardization of equipment will begin. 534 ELECTRIC RAILWAY JOURNAL LVol. XLIX, No. 12
