Engineer FL. G.. Rust and Fireman Ed
ward Lynn, of the Atchison, at Topeka,
are the inventors OF a lantern attachment
for use on engine lanterns, which does
away with the Inconvenience and expense
of keeping both a red and white lantern In
the cab Of an engine. The rules CT the
company require engine men to keep in the
cab of the engine, constantly ready for
use, red and white signal lanterns. The
new attachment consists OF a frame on
one side Of the lantern in which is placed
a slide of red glass, and by turning the
lantern from one side to another both the
red and white signal light is shown. The
red light is most frequently used in back
ing engines to a train or round house, and
in tagging other trains. The inventors
have already applied for a patent for this
invention, and when it is secured will
probably take steps to have it introduced
in engine service.
