Abstract
The vehicle is powered by a linear synchronous motor, The linear synchronous motor comprises a series of field poles fitted on the vehicle body along its total length and a series of magnetic devices being provided along a track on the ground facing these field poles and developing a travelling magnetic field. A driving force developed between these field poles and the magnetic devices causes the vehicle to move. Such a linear synchronous motor powered vehicle has a problem when securing proper and satisfactory places to mount the necessary equipment of the vehicle. The problem arises from the peculiar construction thereof that a plurality of field poles are disposed along the entire length of the vehicle body. A satisfactory mounting of the apparatus may be attained by a unique arrangement of the field poles, without making the vehicle body large in size or providing discomfort to the passengers.
