A car disabled through accident, can be pushed to the depot by the succeeding one, or its plow may be thrown out of the conduit at any point on the line, and the car run off to one side of the track.
The conduit differs from any form heretofore made or used, in that the conductors for both tracks are carried in conduits laid in the space between the two tracks of a street railway, instead of being laid between the rails of each individual track.
The car, moving on rails, was propelled by a ventilator wheel in the shape of a propeller, which produced either a blast or suction, by revolving it in alternate directions.

 We Know: All About Car Battery Chargers
In any version of car battery in common use today, the battery is a chemically-based system that uses positive and negative ions in chemical reactions to provide a charge for the car's use.
A car battery charger reverses the normal current in the battery, moving the electrons from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
Car battery chargers are safe to use provided you follow directions, but you should never charge a battery in an unventilated area or with it resting on anything that acid can damage.

 Tram Summary
Cable cars are pulled along a rail track by a continuously moving cable running at a constant speed on which individual cars stop and start by releasing and gripping this cable as required.
Cable cars suffered from high infrastructure costs, since a vast and expensive system of cables, pulleys, stationary engines and vault structures between the rails had to be provided.
Cable cars were especially useful in hilly cities, partially explaining their survival in San Francisco, though the most extensive cable system in the U.S. was in Chicago, Illinois, a much flatter city.

 Vacuum coin collection apparatus - Patent 4757941
A coin collection apparatus for use with self-service car washing equipment includes a coin meter located at a car wash bay and a coin collection box located remote therefrom which is inaccessible to the public.
Most importantly, the self-serve car wash provides a basic car washing service to those individuals who do not have the means available to them at their dwellings to adequately clean their cars, such as an outdoor spigot and hose or a sheltered place such as a garage for cleaning the vehicle during inclement weather.
The owner or operator of the car wash can reduce his losses from such thievery by frequently retrieving the money from the meters, but repeated trips to the car wash are time-consuming and often impractical.

Cars are a problem because they support global industrial capitalism and the outsourcing of manufacturing to the people who are hurt the worst by industrialism.
Cars teach us that to get around, we need to spend lots of money to buy something which is environmentally damaging.
If we question cars, we learn that we can lessen our impact by buying a less-bad car (small car, hybrid, grease, biodiesel), and that less-bad is a fine way to be.

 Magash Project 13
The lift car has its own gravity plate (if in a spacecraft, orbital station or low gravity world,) an independent lighting system, a control terminal which may be voice activated or include a security lock to prevent unauthorized use, and is powered by a rechargeable power cell.
The difference between a tube car and a lift car is that usually passengers stand in a lift.
Passengers in a tube car are generally seated, although most cars intended for public transportation have handrailings to allow passengers to also stand, so that the car can carry more people.

 Method and apparatus for recycling water in a car wash - Patent 4168231
In addition, an air-bleeding conduit with a one-way check valve therein is placed in parallel with the return conduit to permit air flow in the direction opposite to that allowed by the valve therein to enable air to be removed from the system, especially when the pump is primed by supply of additional water thereto.
As is known in the art, the scrubbing section of the car wash includes a number of valves which are operated by cars passing through the car wash. Consequently, the demand for water from water reclaim unit 13 is intermittent.
For such an eventuality, a conduit 28a with a priming valve 28 therein is connected into that part of feedback circuit 26 between bypass valve 23 and pump 20 to enable pump 20 to be primed.

 Conduit Cross Section
The diagram shows a cable grip coming from an unseen cable car down to hold one of the two cables in Manhattan's unusual two-cable system (the loose cable is below and right of the grip).
In the conduit system, the plough was smaller than the cable grip, which had to have moving parts.
For that reason I think the inside dimension of the electric conduit was probably a bit smaller than this, but I'm not sure it was very much smaller.

 San Francisco Cable Cars
San Francisco's cable cars are unique in that they are the only street railway in which the cars do not operate under their own power.
Instead, the cars are propelled mechanically, by "gripping" a continuously moving steel cable which runs in a conduit underneath a slot between the rails.
These cars were built in 1887-91, and survived the great fire of 1906 because they were stored in an outlying carbarn at the time.

A computer-assisted reporting (CAR) expert, Stith has been described in local media as "Raleigh's Dirty Harry" for the fear he strikes in the hearts of state employees when he and his computer are on their trail, according to Warrick, his "Boss Hog" partner.
Stith lobbied to become the paper's CAR conduit, and management financed his efforts to learn as much about the subject as he could.

 Hello to all
            Upon further investigation I discovered that the conduits that where responsible for guiding the cables from the heater on/off lever at the side of the e-break handle through the tunnel and out of the transmission/motor mount frame horns and then to the heater box valves were completely rusted closed.
  I drove that car like this until it was retired two years later in favor of a nice shinny red bug with the ability to regulate the heater temperature.
The idea is to remove all of the conduit you can.
