Examples are given in which mixtures of #1-amido-alpha3-naphthol - #4- sulphonic acid and #1-amido-alpha4-naphtbol - #3 - sulphonic acid are so treated. Dyes, artificial.-Azo dyes, which dye unmordanted cotton clear shades of remarkable fastness against acids and light, are produced by combining the above-described mixed urea or thiourea derivatives with one or two molecular proportions of diazo compounds, diazoazo compounds, tetrazo compounds, or the intermediate products obtained from equimolecular proportions of a tetrazo compound and an azo dye-stuff component. The combination with one molecular proportion is best effected in slightly-acid solution, and the combination with two molecular proportions in alkaline solution. An example is given in which diazotized p-toluidine is used, and another in which both diazotized aniline and diazotized p-amidoacetanilide are used. Dyes derived from symmetricallysubstituted urea and thiourea derivatives are also produced by combining one of the above-defined amidonaphtbols, or sulphonic acids thereof, with a molecular proportion of a diazo compound in an alkaline solution, and then acting upon two molecular proportions of the azo dye thus produced with phosgene, thiophosgene, or carbon bisulphide.

Switches; conductors.-The circuit between the studs D, d and the main conductor K is completed by the two pivoted arms E, S, which are lifted by magnets on the vehicle acting through the studs. The switch arms E, S are separately pivoted and electrically connected, one making contact with the studs D, d and the other with a contact k connected through a fuse p and a plug contact o to the main K. The magnetized plugs also lift a third lighter switch arm m, which normally connects them to earth at q. A double break is thus provided by the arms E, S, and, if both stick, the switch earths the main and so blows the fuse. This switch mechanism is carried by the cover l of the box, which can be easily removed, the only connection broken being the plug n from the spring contact o. The cover is secured by L-ended bolts r turned under snugs with inclined edges on the box. The main conductor K consists of sections of cable secured by clamps 5, 6 on the boxes taking round the armour. The ends of the core are bared and held inside the box by clamps to which the fuse p is connected.
