Track apparatus actuating signals on trains; recording signals; miniature signals.-All the signals passed by a train are indicated a n d recorded in the cab, both visual and a u d i b l e signals being given, and the signals are recorded by one or more punched holes on a travelling paper band, one hole repres e n t i n g ' line ' clear ' and being given from one ramp; for ' dan- ' g e r,' two or more ramps are raised and punch two or more holes side by side. The track apparatus consists of three inclines, one of which is fixed and the other two movable, these being raised when the signals are at ' danger ' by counterweighted double-armed levers connected to the signal levers, one of the arms thereof having a pin working in a slot in the ramp. The engine apparatus consists of contact levers L, L<1>, Fig. 5, for both directions of running, which levers are connected to levers R by levers Q through eccentric joints Q<1> whereby the contact levers may be raised out of action. The levers R normally rest on stops R<1> directly below a slide C, which projects into a casing A in the cab, and is provided with a pawl C<1> so disposed that, on its return movement, a pin C<2> thereon contacts with a piece C<3> and moves the pawl into the path of a toothed wheel D, loose on a shaft D<1>, and turns the wheel one step. The wheel carries a face-cam with steps D<3> and an incline D<2>, against which bears a projection E<1> of a sliding spring-pressed carriage E. A pointer J moving over a scale J' is connected to the carriage; one operation of the contact, by allowing the carriage to move one step laterally, shows a ' line clear ' indication, and three operations in succession show ' danger.' At each operation, a bell K<1> is rung, and a projection C' on the slide C contacts with a two-armed lever H', H<3> to operate a punch H, which punches a hole in the paper band running from the holder T over rollers F<1>, F<2>, F<3>, F<4>. One punch records a 'safety' signal, and three punches, made side by side owing to the movement of the carriage, records ' danger.' After the operation, the driver turns a handle D<7> through one revolution, when a dog on the shaft D<1> engages a pin on the wheel D and returns the wheel and carriage to their normal positions. while at the same time a wheel D<4> turns a wheel F' on the shaft of the roller F<3>, to feed on the paper band. Glass panels are provided in the casing A for viewing the pointer and the paper band. When, at junctions, the ramps have to correspond to more than one signal, they are connected by a common wire to one end of a casing sliding in guides, the other .end of which is connected by springs to each of the signaloperating wires, which springs, when one signal lever is operated to pull over the casing and operate the ramps, keep the other wires taut.
