factory to a variation from con- stant of less than one-tenth of one degree. While sensitive thermostats already have been developed, East' man said, vacuum tube equipment could be used to improve the opera ton.
 The professor pointed out that commercially vacuum tubes now are being used to control locomotives on many large railroads, to bring ele- vators both automatic and manu- ally operated, to Q stop at floor lev els, and, in connection with photo- electric cells, to control traffic lights, operate burglar alarms and numerous other uses
 R. R. Mechanism
 It is a simple mechanism, East man said. For example, in control ling railroad locomotives, two small coils placed close to the rails at the front end of the engine pick up low voltage signals from the track and transmit them to the tube equipment in the cab, he said.
 If danger is ahead, such as an open switch, broken rails or sig nals, stalled train, the tube equip ment is so adjusted as to pick up the warning impulses and smoothly apply the brakes, bringing the train to stop without any action by the engine crew. Thus, in modern day railroading, Eastman said, even failure of the human element in op- eration of train, such as, in an extreme case, death of the engine crew, would not necessarily endan- ger the lives of passengers.

 This was the signal for the epi- demic of strikes that spread over France in the summer of 1886.
