One of the most ingenious adaptations OF
electricity, recently introduced, is that by
which machinery, when in motion, may be
instantly stopped-as in case of an engine.
A wire rope cooled around the stem of the
throttle valve the engine, carries a weight
which is held in place by rest, and The
whole arrangement is such that the passing
OF the electric current along wire releases
this rest and causes the weight 10 TALL. The
tension thus thrown upon the wire rope
acts. upon the throttle valve, cuts OF the
supply of steam and consequently stops
the machinery. Buttons. with wire con.
nections, are placed In different parts of
the works, and on pressing any OF these the
passage OF an electric current acts as above
mentioned. In any factory these electric
buttons can be placed in every room, as
may be required. Should anyone happen
to be caupht by the machinery. the simple
pressing OF q button In the most distant
part Of the factory will quickly stop The
whole.
