where the dotted lines occur-the name of the station being shown horizontally
at the right or left of the table.
A plain line as in Fig. 3 placed vertically or downwards connecting the times
of the train and showing that such train does not stop at the stations where the
plain line occurs-the name of the station being shown horizontally at the right
or left of the table.
Two plain lines as in Fig. 4 placed vertically or downwards connecting the
times of the train and showing that such train does not stop at the stations
where the plain lines occur-the name of the station being shown horizontally

performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
This invention has for its object the improvement of railway time tables

page_text: showing more clearly the line of rail upon which the train runs and the stations
which the train passes without stopping.
A. liue or lines to be placed vertically connecting the times between the
stations where the train stops.
The following are indicated as examples; on drawings or specimen sent with
the Provisional Specification:
A dotted line as in Fig. 1 placed vertically or downwards, connecting the times
of the train showing that such train does not stop at the station where the dotted
line occurs the name of the station being shown horizontally at the right or
left of the table.
Two dotted lines as in Fig. 2 placed vertically or downwards connecting the
times of the train showing that such train does not stop at the station where
the two dotted lines.occur the name of the station being shown horizontally at
the right or left of the table.
A plain line as in Fig. 3 placed vertically or downwards connecting the times
of the train, showing that such train does not stop at the stations where the
plain line occurs-the name of the station being shown horizontally at the right
or left of the table.
Two plain lines as in Fig. 4 placed vertically or downwards connecting, the
times of the train, showing that such train does not stop at the stations where
the plain lines occur-the name of the station being shown horizontally at the
right or left of the table.
A waved line as in Fig. 5 placed vertically or downwards connecting the
times of the train, showing that such train does not stop at the stations where.
the waved line occurs-the name of the station being shown horizontally at the
right or left of the table.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we claim
The vertical dotted line, in Fig. 1-the vertical dotted lines in Fig. 2-the
vertical plain line in Fig. 3-the two vertical plain lines in Fig. 4-and the
vertical waved line in Fig. 5-as novelties in railway time tables-showing more
clearly the line of rail upon which the train runs.
Dated this Eighth day of February 1895.
