Prof, Arendt was asked in what re- spect the specifications as revised in 1922 would have barred the type of tracklees trolley bua then in use on Staten Isiand since 1921. He said‘he. was unable to point out any item in the changed specifications. He ad- mitted he had before him as early as January, 1932, a description of the Imperial type of bus, put out by the Trackiese Transportation Corpora- tion, the concern which in July, 1922, obtained the contract to sell fif- teen buses t6 the city, It was be- tween January and July, 1922, t specifications were changed from the character of the Atlas type, then in tse on Staten Island, to a closer cor- respondence. with-thée. type of bus made by the Trackless Transporta- tion Company. Prof. Arendt dénied with some heat that ‘favors’ ontered into the reason for making the change. He then equmerated In great detail a com- Parison between the different specifi- cations and the relative merits of the revised specifications on which the Trackless Transportation won the contract. Prof. Arendt later stated that the only change in the specifications which operated against the Atlas trolley bus was the size of the wheel brse, but otherwise, he protested. The changes were not prejudicial to the Atlas product. The witness admitted that the Trackless Transportation Company could not have been a succeseful bid- der if the specifications had been the sama as those on which the Atlas Company sdld the first seven cars to the city, He further admitted the revised specifications ‘“‘fitted to a nicety"’ and were “a perfect descrip- tion’ of the Imperial type of of the Trackless Transportation Com- pany. Prof, Arendt said one purpose of revising the specifications was ‘to draw the fire of the manufacturers,”’ He said Commissioner Whalen told him to observe the Atlas Company's bus and design the second hutch of buses so they would not be so un+ sightly and top heavy es the Atlus bus which he sald reminded him “of a cheese box on a raft.” Another reason why the specifica. tions were changed was what Prof of vl acted am prosecutor.
