by only two wires In contrast to
the multi-wire cables needed
for operation Of existing sys-
TENS.
Chief feature of the new sys-
tenn is a central master control
to which is connected a local de-
coder, a device placed in indi-
vidual traffic signals.
The inventor Of the new sys-
tenn, G. Donald Hendricks, an
engineer on the Eagle Signal
staff, says there is almost no
end" to the combinations Of traf-
f1c patterns which may be sent

coolers activate individual signals

turbing the operation Of other

Has Master Controller.
Thus. if a particular intersec-
ton becomes heavily burdened
with north-south traffic, the
time interval of signal changes
can be governed by the master
controller to clear away threat
ened congestion.
On streets leading to factories,
business areas, or in parts of a
city where traffic is heavy in one
direction at one time of day and
in the opposite direction at an
other, a timing device makes
the change-over automatically.
Other signals in the system are
not affected by the change-over.
In existing traffic systems,
control of individual signals is
not possible, Mr.. Hendricks says.
The new system gives traffic au-
thorities the advantage of inde-
pendent selection merely by dial
ing a combination on the master
control.
What about pedestrian safety?
Mr.. Hendricks doesn't have the
answer to that, but he says the
new system is flexible enough to
have incorporated in it any ideas
finally adopted for the protec-
ton of the non-rider.
