tenn is the invention of p. ]. Simmer
Of Los Angeles. 1t has been installed
on IS miles of the Santa Fe railroad
in southern California, and is said to
be in successful operation.
Under the system each train records
on a sheet in the dispatcher's Office
the exact time it enters and the time
1t leaves a block. The dispatcher can
signal directly to any engineer on his
division to stop or to proceed. Intel
ligible communication is maintained
between the dispatcher and the en-
gineers in their cabs.
The dispatcher is protected from
human errors by the automatic inter-
locking of the switchboard by which
he signals to trains. He can stop any
or all trains on his division, but he
cannot give signal to proceed unless
the block ahead is clear. The engineer
also is protected against error by the
use of an automatic stop. He Is given
4 danger signal either by the dispatch
er or by the presence Of a train, an
open switch or b ken rail in the
block ahead. This signal is given
about half a mile before he enters a
block. If, on receiving the signal, he
fails to reduce his speed to less than
five miles an hour, or any predeter-
mined rate, in the next 1000 feet the
train is stopped automatically.
A device on the locomotive makes a
record of the time and place where a
danger signal is given, the time of the
clear signal, how quickly the engineer
responds to the danger signal, the rate
