Abstract: Improvements to vehicle-transporting railway cars
comprising movable bridge plate supports which avoid
interference with door clearance requirements, and improved
end door lock, and a flexible deflector for decreasing air
flow about the outer edges of the end doors. The movable
bridge plate supports comprise a lower deck bridge plate
support which is movable between a retractable position in
which it can support the free end of the bridge plate
connected to an adjacent car, and an extended position in
which it may be pivotally connected to a bridge plate while
spanning a door track. An upper deck bridge plate is
provided which comprises a movable member and fixed member,
with the movable member and fixed member in combination
engaging opposite sides of one of a bridge plate for
pivotal connection thereto. Each of the lower deck bridge
plates includes a support member for engaging the free end
of a bridge plate connected to an adjacent car, and
includes a foot to support provided by the door track when
in extended position. The improved lock includes
lubrication conduits extending between external surfaces
and lock pin apertures in top and bottom walls which are
joined by a channel shaped side wall structure, and further
includes circumferentional channels within the interior
surfaces of the lock pin apertures to, dispose between pin
engaging surfaces therein, for distribution of lubricant.
The flexible deflector extends inward from each of the side
walls where the outer edges of the end doors to decrease or
inhibit air flow around the outer edges without contacting
the end doors when in closed position. The bridge plate
supports, lock, and deflectors all must be sufficiently
strong and durable to withstand loads imposed during
railway service over extended periods of years, without
failure.

Deux mémoires (6, 7) enregistrent les séries successives de décomptes, et une unité de contrôle compare les séries pour déterminer si l'une des deux séries enregistrées ou les deux comprennent un ou plusieurs événements. Quand les deux séries dénombrent un ou plusieurs événements, et aussi lorsqu'elles n'en dénombrent pas, aucune sortie n'est fournie, mais si l'une en fait apparaître un ou plusieurs et l'autre aucun, un nombre binaire est fourni en sortie (9), selon la série qui fait apparaître un ou plusieurs événements. Le générateur de nombres aléatoires considéré est avantageux dans la mesure où il n'exige pas que la probabilité d'absence d'événement décompté soit identique à la probabilité de décompte d'un ou plusieurs événement et où, simultanément, il donne des résultats qui restent réellement aléatoires.
