The wiring is different,\jn order to bring back to the track and home through the but For thie, as complicated arrangement is necessary in order to permit it to pass through the short sections of third rall at both ends of the track and include them within the block In both, the track circult depends upon the magnet In the relay remaining ener- gized, but this it will™only do while the full cutrent is passing through It As soon as an engine runs into the t block, the wheels and axles form a short path for she electricity, and only a smail amount of it passes through the relay, not enough to hold the armature and keep the eircult closed. On the ordinary automatic system, the opening of the circuit, whether from the presence of a train, a brcken rall, or a landslide, sends the signal on the sema- phore to danger. The working of the Lacroix system s quite different. When & block is occupled or in trouble the approaching train first learns of It when the shoe strikes the third rall at the end of the block. Previous to that time, while the train was passing over a clear track, whenever the shoe struck a section of the third rall the engine current passed out through it to the track circult, then through the track relay, which was closed, wheels and body of the engine. a block where hort-circulted trouble, the current cannot make a ¢ piete run through the track circuit un ac- count of the opening in the relay caused by the lack of power in the magnet. The action is instantaneous. The cur- rent does not leap from the shoe to- the third rail, because it cannot return, The effect is to break the cireuit in the cnginc which results in extinguishing the green light, setting the brakes and blowing the whistle, Zach block is connected with the third- rail section at both ends of the block, so that trains can never approach vach other nearer than the length of the block plus the lengths of the two third-rall sections On single traeks, such as the Erie branch on which it has been installed, the blocks overlap both ways, 80 that tralns will not collide head on at the end of the block At public demonstrations it has been shown that head-on collisions could not ‘heppen. Two engines racing toward each other, with the throttles wide open and the gineers leaning from the cab windows, were stopped at the ends of & block which they both approached from opposite sldes. As soon as each struck the third-rall s the air-brakes were set and both e were brought to a standstill within a few hundred feet, although the engines were still puffing away with the throtties wide open. The entire possibilities of the invention are not shown us yet, because the third rails are not eontinuous. The sections are only long enough to give the air-brakes a chance to stop the train before the brushes have passed off, which is 00 feet on the Erie. While the train is passing from one third-rail section to another, it is entirely cut off from communication, There 13, however, nothing to hinder the s from being continuous, with will be a n sity If the telephoning pos- sibilities are used. There 1s at present no provision giving ecr warning of the danger ghead sddenly the air brakes are opened is brou to a stop by an This can be remed!@, however, by more extensive wiring and the use of distant signals, not unlike those in the automatic semaphone system. Through them the engineer s Informed several blocks In advance of the condition of the block he Is approaching. At present the same electric current which operates the signals also applies the brakes, and, be- fore he can grasp the throttle, the train is being stopped automatically, the amount of jarring the train receives depending on the brakes. There 14 as yet only one current geners ated in the engine and this must be used for both the signaling apparatus and the telephone. Obviously it cannot be used for both at once. This is recognized by the inventor, and he has pi ared a switch be thrown whenever the telephone is in nge.
