Patent GB-190209296-A (GB)
Title: Improved Indicator for Electric Signalling on Railways, Tramways and the like.
Inventor: GULLIVER HARRY
Filed: 1902-04-22
Granted: 1902-11-13
Abstract: 9296. Gulliver, H., and Robinson, H. G. April 22. Signals on engines and trains ; indicators and repeaters, signal ; signalling to cabins and stations.- Relates to indicators for electric signalling on railways or tramways, in which communication is established between stations, or, more particularly, between signal cabins and moving locomotives or cars. The indicator consists of a semaphore arm R connected by an arm P and link 0 to the lever N, which is pivoted at L and carries a magnetic horse-shoe armature K. The armature is swung slightly out of centre, so that it has a bias to the 'danger' position, and its arms embrace the electromagnet F in the signal circuit A, B, which also includes a relay D controlling the bell circuit H. In the normal or danger' position, the semaphore arm is horizontal, but when by means of a suitable reversing-switch W connected to the signal lever, a reverse current is passed through the apparatus, the armature K is deflected to its other extreme position, and the signal arm is lowered. In a modification, the semaphore arm is replaced by two discs, of different colours, or bearing the inscriptions 'danger' and 'line clear,' the parts F, K, N, &c. being duplicated for the, two discs. In this case, one disc or the other, according to the direction of current, is exposed through a sighthole in the door V of the apparatus.

At an intermediate point the links 9 are connected by links 13 to the admission valve-actuating arm 12. This construction results in the valves having a long dwell from shortly after the point of cut-off until just before the point of admission, during which they are subjected to the greatest difference of pressure. At other periods, the movements of the valve are accelerated. The exhaust valves are worked by a separate rocking plate 5<a>.
