ElECTR|CDEV|CE
IN SUBWAY CARS
SAVES MUCH TIME
Invention of Mr.. Hedley Gives
to the Motormen Signal
to Start Trains.

An electric starting signal device.
which Is said 10 save about four seconds
for every train at every station. has
been Installed in all cars Of the Subway.
II eliminates the pulling af the bell cord.
and thus does away with a delay which,
though very slight. is precious time in
the carrying out OF the schedule.
The device Is an invention OF Vice.
Preslden IIedley OF the f~nterborough.
Although It Is very simple, 1t cost more
than 100000 to install 81. By means of
an electric contact on every door. both
end and side. a circuit is completed
which flashes a signel In n little box in
the notorman's cab. When he gets this
fash he knows that all doors are closed
and that they will not be opened until
the next station Is reached, and he pro-
ceeds on the trip. While the train Is in
motion, this light continues and II is
extlnguished when the guards open the
doors.
Under the bell cord system. all the
guards had to wait until tho man in the
last car pulled his cord. Sometimes he
might be the last to close his doors and
often there was a delay because OF this
The guards continue to give the cord
signal, largely because OF force OF habit
II has not been removed from tho cars
because the electric device Is still In ar
experimental stage. Mr.. Hedley has
been trying out the new signal fol-
nearly n year, md a few weeks & II
was put in every car. Since then, II IL
said, the device has worked perfectly.
