TRAMWAY ARGUMENTS.

To the Editor. Sir, —“Black Squad” goes off at; a tangent .again. His /original squib “was” carefully perused, and text books were the only suggestion, and in withdrawing the word “formula” kicis himself again. He says he will explain “again” for my benefit, that thirty years'ago he was making combustion engines. Well, this is the first time mentioned- “ Black Squad” forgets an awful lot, but I would think thirty years’ experience -of “making” combpstionj engines (even if he never repaired one) would be quite suflacient practical experience to know, .without the. necessity of asking even a “brother” what for and why a piston is put into a lathe. The last part of his letter gets me thinking of gelignite. If you play with that commodity In the proper way, it will go o?f,. too, anil the one who plays—-pays. Don’t worry any more.' The measurements of Mr J. N., Davies were “agree-: able” as “you” agreed in your first letter that an engineer co-uld allow more than your text book formula: gaye, if in his “judgment” it was warranted. By the bye, 8.5., you’ve done all the questioning-V-put out the light, brothel, I’m going to sleep.—l am, etc., BLACK SQUAD’S BROTHER. -
