H. W. Johns Mfg. exhibits at Street Railway Convention

THE H. W. JOHNS MANUFACTURING COMPANY, of New York, had a working exhibit which demonstrated the relative merits of the Sachs Noark fuses and the ordinary open fuse, both on short-circuit and heavy overloads. Two fuse boxes, one for open fuses and one for enclosed Noark fuses, were erected, and by passing current through the two types the difference was made clearly evident. Three large elevated lines, and over 6,000 surface cars have been equipped with No-ark fuses, and the company showed at the Convention two examples of fuse boxes particularly designed for elevated and surface lines. The exhibit was in charge of A. Hall Berry, manager of the electrical department of the New York office; Joseph Sachs, and numerous other representatives.
