Rowan 135,928.8 14,498 0.10

Krauss 86,039.9 22,726 0.25

Compressed air 132,732.7 90,420 0.66

As regards the figures in these tables, it is to be observed that the

consumption of fuel for the electric car is, to a certain extent, an

estimate; because the engine which furnished the electricity to the motor

also supplied electricity for electric lights, as well as for an

experimental electric motor which was running on the lines of tramway,

but was not brought into competition.

20. Minimum consumption of oil, of grease, tallow, etc. (the same

conditions as in No. 19).
