No mention of the stabilizer wheels visible in the pictures, and obviously running on earth? --BjKa (talk) 16:59, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Correspondence
Single-Rail Storage Battery Motor. To the Editor of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN : With reference to the instruction and description of the "Single-rail Storage-battery Motor" given in your issue of June 2, 1900, will you kindly allow me to state that for the rolling-stock shown and described therein, that is, with the wide tired road wheel on one side for balancing purposes, I bold Letters Patent No. 541, 732, dated June 25, 1895, for the United States of America, and consequently the construction or use of such rolling-stock without my permission is, and would be, an infringement of my patent. The difference between the two systems mentioned in the particulars furnished you by Mavor & Coulson, of Glasgow (who are, I have noted, the builders of the motor car shown in your illustration), as being employed in South America and India, respectively, is that while my patented system admits of trains, of trucks and passenger cars being worked by any kind of power, whether animal, steam, electricity, com pressed air, or any other, the system used in South America requires every truck, whether it be full or empty, to be balanced by a man or animal of some description, and without such assistance no other power than an imal, and that to every truck, can be utilized with it ! So far from either system being, as stated, "a form of the well-known Decauville system," that gentleman (Mr. DecauviIle) has had no more to do with its invention than Adam, as the system now in use in South America was invented and worked by me at Dibrugark, Upper Assam, India, so far back as 1881, and I abandoned it because of the impossibility of one or a pair of animals dealing with more than one truck, whether full or empty, at a time.
