[Patent of Addition to No. 14,396, A.D. 1908.] Sights and methods of sighting.-Relates to improvements in the following details of the apparatus of the system for the distant electric control of mechanisms described in Specification No. 14,396, A.D. 1908, namely (1) the controlling-switch, (2) the escapement mechanism of the tell - tale and circuit-breaking mechanism at the controlling- station, (3) the multiple-contact switch at the controlled station which sends back current impulses to the controlling-station to release the tell-tale and circuit-breaking mechanism. (1) The controlling-switch, which is of the nature of a time switch, is capable of being turned through h any desired angle and of closing the circuit in either direction through the motor at the controlled station by way of the slip rings A, B, C, Fig. 1, and one of the contacts K or L according as the switch is turned to the left or to the right.' The current impulses transmitted back from the controfled station allow the part M to be stepped forward. When a rod P in this part comes opposite the switch arm I, the arm is forced outwards and breaks the circuit through the motor at the controlled station. (2) The pin of the escapement mechanism resting in a sinuous groove R, Fig. 2, in a wheel which tends to rotate, is pressed upwards by a spring and normally holds the wheel at rest. When the pin is moved downwards by an electric-magnet, the wheel moves a step forward. (3) To obtain a greater exactitude of indication, the contacts of the switch at the controlled station, which transmits current impulses back to the controlling-station, are arranged in a groove in a disk K<1>, Fig. 3, geared so as to revolve at a more rapid rate than the indicator disk A' of the controlled station.
