machine is operated by a series Of
wires under a rubber band one-eighth
of an inch thick and two inches wide,
which covers the finish, or tape line.
These wires are carried to a recording
table placed in the judges stand. A
watch also electrically connected is
placed under the table and started at
the firing of the pistol, and is stopped
at the finish by the same electric
connection that records the finish of
the contestants. Immediately upon
the contestants coming up the stretch
a switch is turned and electrical con-
nection made with the wires under the
rubber band. A touch of a wheel on
the rubber band registers each con-
testant in order OF their finish By
the use of this contrivance dead heats
are rendered impossible, as it is so
accurately adjusted that the crossing
of the tape is recorded instantly, no
matter should the difference between
the men be only one-twentieth of a
second. While this invention has had
the approval of several prominent L..
A. W. officials. it can not be used Off
cially until a revision of the racing
rules is made to admit it.
