patented by which II train dispatcher
has control OF trains on his division

cage Tribune. IL consists Of a series OF
semaphores placed AT frequent intervals
along the track. which can be- raised
and lowered by the dispatcher without
leaving his desk.
Ii is proposed 10 use I'm connection

over, the agents at stations along the
line have control OF the semaphores ON
either side OF them. 40 that if they see
u train running by under wrong orders
they can stop IL at the next semaphore.
The mechanism OF the new device Is
extremely simple, being operated by
electricity obtained from half n dozen
dry cells at each ~semaphore post. The
dispatcher Is notified by II red light ON
the switchboard I'm front Of him that
the s~emaphore has been raised, and
when il is raised by a station agent
