In scores of terminals electric trucks have proved the most economical and efficient method of reducing the number of handlings. At one terminal, a fleet of: 24 Elwell-Parker electric Tructors re- turned its entire cost during the first 100 days it was in operation. Annual savings amounted to ap- proximately $270,000.
