SIGNALING DEVICE
 TO ASSIST FOREST
 RANGERS INVENTED,

A Klaxon telephone signalling de. vice has been invented by C. M Al. len. telephone engineer at the district forest service, for the use of forest fire crews.
 The equipment is an ordinary Klax- on, operating by combination of special relays which are so adjusted that they will not be operated by the ordinary ringing signals. By switch ing a direct current the signal is op- erated. The energy to operate the relays is furnished by a special mag neto, which delivers either direct or alternating currents.
 A man in camp can be rung by an ordinary call, CT by switching the sig mailing set, sound may be made which has been heard at tests made in the Snoqualmie forest, at a distance of two miles. Thus crews of men may work on trail construction or some other work at some distance from camp until fire breaks out, when they can be speedily called.
 The batteries which operate the horn also furnish the energy for talk ing, and make it possible by the use of special induction coils and an in- terrupter to call distant stations any where on the line at any point which is equipped with a stancarc forest service bowler.
 A number of these signalling sets have been sent out to forest supervis- ors in the district for use in their for ests. If they prove satisfactory, they will probably be made part of the standard fire fighting equipment of the forest service.
