The machines are so arranged, that, in event of one motor being cut
out, the entire machine can be operated from either cab with the remain¬
ing motor. The halves are interchangeable, and if one is out of service, it
may be replaced by another while repairs are being made.

The unit switch control permits two or more locomotives to be
coupled, and all to be operated from either end of any one cab.

There are four running notches on controller, two more than are
provided with motor car equipments. This gives greater flexibility of
speed regulation and at the same time economizes power consumption
diM'ing acceleration.
