Magnet Powered Wheels Tested In Chicago Street Car Study
In Chicago a ten foot model car shown at 153 Jefferson st. with magnets embedded in the track pulled the car round a 180 foot loop without touching the wheels. Inventor P. W. Leffler and director H. Finnegan hailed the test as a potential end to trolley propulsion. Yerkes reportedly offered $100,000 for stock. The system uses ground magnets and a noncontact armature attached to the car.
