depot, under the tracks. into the base
ment and up through the floor TO the
switch box and are all enclosedl in
iron conduit giving 1t n very neat APP
pearance. The box itself looks like
n steel clothes-locker with lot of
small holes in the front.
= With the old swith-box, il wire

took very skillful operator TO tie in,
hut with the new one any operator
can do il with a few instructions: for
example If line wire became broken
at South Gardiner the operator can
ground that wire at the Gardiner Of
flee and still use the wire to all places
cast of here, and If Waterviue wants
to communicate with Brunswick the
Gardiner operator ties into another
wire here and thus keeps things
working smoothly even though one
wire is down. 1t took two men three
weeks to assemble and install the
board. Gardiner is to- be congratu-
lated on having the second one Of
