STOP INVENTOR
Attachment for Locomotive
Prevents Engine Running
Past Signal.

a simple automatic stop applied 10 b
locomotive has recently been brought
out by Mr.. n B. Bulla. an FL Paso
railroad conductor. It consists OF a
control mechanism. placed in a box on
the locomotive. IN connection with
this is d storage battery of about six
volts. and a contact shoe situated on
the tender. There is also a steel brush
attached 10 the end Of a tie adjacent
to a signal The brush is used instead
Of the ramp which is part of other
systems, and the brush IS placed the
desired distance ahead Of each auto
matte signal
Bond wires are used TO bridge the
insulated joint SO that any dragging
material which tore out the brush
would break the track circuit and put
the signal at stop" The brush Is
connected TO the rail through a relay
which is actuated by the signal bat
terry and controlled by a circuit con-
troller on the signal mechanism
When the signal is at stop con-
nectiOn between brush and rail Is COM
pleted- The circuit may be broken
through the track relay This is so
arranged 10 prevent the signal stick
ing at clear This apparatus has been
given a trial on the Galveston. Harri-
son & san Antonio and other railroads
and has worked satisfactorily The

The form OF the mechanism need not
be uinutely described here. Il works
all right. and the brush Is designed TO
be available when the ground is Gov
cred with snow and ice The funda-
mental idea in this as in other stop
signals. Is 10 prevent a man from max
ing a failure Many people, while be
lievinE in the integrity of purpose OF
a locomotive engineer, Yet are con-
WINGED that there are brief times. when
strictly speaking, he is not his own
master. Il has been noticed that
man who for some reason makes =
failure is liable to do il again in p
short time. and to do 1t again until
as some say his luck changes" This
is not the explanation, but the phe-
nomenon exists. and Mr. Bullas stou
signal is a legitimate attempt TO deal
with the many vagaries Of the normal

to prevent the mOmentary lapSes which
are all too liable 10 bring disaster in
