Title: An Improved Electric Signalling System for Railways.
Inventor: GARDINER ALE
Filed: 1905-11-01
Granted: 1906-11-01
Abstract: 22,357. Gardiner, A. Nov. 1. Automatic systems; single-track systems; stopping engines and trains. -In an automatic electric system with track relays controlling circuits to insulated conductors along the track which energize relays on the locomotive to control visual signals or apply the brakes, either one or both track rails are divided into block sections, and the insulated conductor or conductors may or may not be so divided. If both rails are divided, the insulating pieces are inserted alternately in each rail at the end of each block section, and with two insulated conductors a similar arrangement is used. Fig. 2 shows one track of a double line of rail with four sections C, D, E, F, and two insulated conductors each divided at s. Track relays are connected across the track rails and control circuits from batteries bc, cd, de on the track to one track rail and one of the insulated conductors. In this case, the engine relay is arranged to give the 'clear' signal only when both conductors are energized. For singletrack working, arrangements are made by means of polarized relays with locking or counterweighted armatures to exchange connexions of the batteries and track relays to the other sides of the insulating joints, thus allowing movements of trains in the opposite direction. A dynamo may replace the batteries.

Granted: 1907-09-19
Abstract: 3 8 0 9. Felten & Guilleaume - Lah - meyerwerke Akt.-Ges. Feb. 15, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Electrically-actuated apparatus.-In electricallyactuated winding-engines for pit shafts &c. in which an attendant is stationed at the pit head or similar place, means are provided whereby this attendant can control the output regulator, according to the character and direction of motion of the load being carried, so as to keep as constant a load as possible on the central station independently of the engineman. In the arrangement of output regulator shown in the Figure, in which the potential of the central station is kept constant, a solenoid a traversed by the working current draws in the core b according to the required output, against the action of the spring c, and causes the regulation of a resistance d in the circuit of the exciter i for the buffer plant and of the exciting field k of the buffer machine. When power is sent to the central station, as during the lowering of a load, the resistance d is switched over by a switch e. If adjustment is to be made for a smaller load (for instance rope descent or the like), the switch f is closed, and the magnet g is energized by the source l to attract the armature h and release the greater part of the spring c, so that at a low output the resistance d is strongly acted upon. The switch m controlling the clutch of the fly-wheel of the buffer machine i, together with the switches mentioned above, may be mounted on a common switchboard n so that the fly-wheel can be disconnected during periods of low demand. The switchboard n is arranged at the pit head or other place of operation, or is combined into a single switch apparatus with the other switches.
