To Preven Burglary.

Frank Gilroy, chief engineer at the
New York Central's Exchange street
station. has perfected an automatic
lock hinge for freight cars that prom
ises to be the solution of the car bur.
glary problem. When the door closes
the hinge locks automatically and the
door cannot be opened until air from
the train line passes into the barrel
of the hinge and forces up a piston.
In that way, an engine backing a
string Of cars down into a yard. pumps
up the air into the cars and they are
opened. AS soon as the doors are
closed the hinge locks automatically
and cannot be opened again without
the air.
1t would be impossible for a man to
carry a pump to unlock the doors, as
all the air that can be put into the
hinge that a man could handle es-
capes without unlocking the hinge.
Mr.. Gilroy has perfected two models
one for sliding doors and the other
for swinging doors.
The railroads of the Unitel States
suffered a loss of 100000 0 from car
burglary during 1905. The New York
Central alone employs ITO men to pre-.
vent car burglary. and still suffers Sc
Iverely. Officials who have looked at
the Gilroy hinge pronounce 1t very
promising.
