Abstract: 23,732. Cole, W. H. Oct. 17. Road-vehicle signals.-A lamp for signalling failure of the tail light of a motor-car is energized by a separate source of current, and is mounted on the dashboard and provided with a switch in order that it may be lighted independently. The terminals A, B are connected in the tail-light circuit, and current normally flows by the three-way switch D through the casing F and coils G of an electro-magnet to the opposite terminal B. When the current in the circuit fails, the armature J of the electromagnet is released and closes a circuit from the terminal No. 1 of the battery L through the switch D, casing F of the electro-magnet, contact-spring O, and lamp Q to the terminal 2. The lamp Q can be independently lighted by pressing the button T, which makes contact with an extension of the conducting-plate M connected with terminal 1. In order to ensure a signal if the tail lamp should be short-circuited, a suitable fuse is inserted in the conductor C.
