Abstract: 13,742. Isherwood, J. W. June 12. Framing; decks.-In passenger vessels of the construction described in Specification 2588/06, unobstructed space is obtained in the cabins bv arranging the strong transverse frames a so that as far as practicable they coincide with the transverse partitions of the cabins. The longitudinal deck beams d are fitted above the deck f except where longitudinal partitions occur, when they are fitted as usual to act as supports for the cabin walls. In vessels of the ordinary construction, by means of pillaring or a system of strong transverse beams, transverse beams below the deck may be reduced in depth or dispensed with and longitudinal or transverse beams may be fitted above the deck. The deck longitudinals are embedded as shown in the deck covering.

Abstract: 19,757. Firth, H. W., and Leake, F. W. Sept. 1. Electrical s y s t e m s , automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains. - The presence or absence of trains in the two sections ahead of a train is indicated by signals on the track and on a train by current collected from a subdivided third rail, the character or absence of which current is determined by relays connected to the track rails. The train A, Fig. 1, deenergizes the relay 1<c>, which cuts off all current from the third rail between insulations 1, 2, and thus a train in this section receives no current, the relay 7<B> is de-energized, and the signals 11<B>, 12<B> stand at ' danger.' The lower armature of relay 1<c> supplies current, say negative, from the battery 2<e> through the lower contact of relay 2<c> to the third rail between the joints 2, 3, and, if the section 2, 3 is clear, to the third rail between joints 3, 4. When the train A clears the section so as to allow the relay 1<c> to be energized, the battery 1<e> supplies current of opposite polarity to these circuits. A negative current through the relay 7<c> causes the home signal 11<c> to show ' clear,' and a positive current causes both signals 11<c>, 12<c> to show clear.' Fig. 2 shows the train circuits, which include a non - polarized relay 16 which when energized holds the brakes out of action and two polarized relays 7, 7' controlling contacts in the circuits of three lamps of which R is energized when both relays 7, 7' are de-energized, G is energized when negative current energizes relay 7 only, and Y is energized when positive current energizes relay 7' only. The currents in the third rail may be alternating currents of different frequencies collected by induction or otherwise.
