Most engineers are familiar with the
story of how the steam engine was
irst made automatic. In the early
rude forms Of the Newcomer engine a
boy was employed to open and shut
the cocks which admitted steam and
the condensing water. A boy named
Humphrey Potter, who was engaged
on this work, was anxious to play, n
the movement of the engine gave him
very little opportunity. To increase
his leisure he devised an arrangement
of strings connected with the walking
beam, which opened and shut the
cocks. This was the first move toward
making the engines mechanism tc
perform the operations of admitting
and releasing steam
The moving of a distant signal by
means of 8 wire seems a very simple
operation, and one which called fol
little ingenuity to invent. Still the
earlier railroad engineers could not

q distant signal until a working sigma
man showed them the way. 1t Is told
that in 1916 an English signal man had
to attend to two signals, placed some
distance apart at a station.
To save himself the trouble OF walk.
