- THE WIRE ROPE STREET RAILWAYS OF SAN
FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA by the inventor of the cable car Andrew S. Hallidie
appeared in the Scientific American Supplement, September 17,
1881. In this article Hallidie describes in detail how his cable car system
operates and the various San Francisco companies (to date) that have successfully,

car for their street railway company.
