Show New Danger Signal Invented. Danger! An electrical system of signaling has been perfected In Nottingham, Not-tingham, England, whereby a gong sounds on the engine and an Immense bull's eye In tho cab glares with green or red light In the driver's face. Beyond Be-yond tho spot where at present the distant signal Is located on the railways, rail-ways, the Invention proposes that a central rail 100 yards long should be laid with a second and much larger central rail near the present house signal. Connected with the signal box, the pressure of a roller beneath the engine on these central rails 1 would not only ring a bell and cause a lamp, corresponding with the track , upon which tho train has been run ning, to glow in the signal box, but bells would ring and red or green lamps glow on the engine Itself, the ' color of tho lamp depending upon which rail the signal man bad connected con-nected with a negative. |
