(3.) On page 9—after the word “ sets,” line 16, to insert the words “ and contacts 112 ”; to substitute “ 14 ” for “ 13,” line 17; “ electro-magnets ” for “ an electro-magnet,” line 27; “ magnets ” for “ magnet,” line 30; and “ attract ” for “ attracts,” line 30.

(4.) On page 11—to substitute “ 145 ” for “ 143,” line 10; “ magnet ” for “ magnets,” line 18; and to insert the words “ and have suitable springs against which said plungers work ” after “ levers,” line 28.

(6.) On page 13—to substitute “ E ” for “ C ” line 18, to insert “ at C ” after “ 040 ” line 19, and to substitute “ 10 and 14 ” for “ 2 and 10 ” line 20.

(7.) On page 14—to omit the words “ Take again the same stop-rails 42 and 042 at C,” line 15, and to insert instead “ As a locomotive passes over, say, outer controller-rails .40 and 040 at C,” line 15; to insert the words “ the current before passing ” instead of “ the current in this case instead of passing,” lines 16 and 17; to omit “ said,” line 17; to insert “ at E ” after “ 44,” line 18; to insert “ Fig. 14 ” instead of “ Figs. 2 and 14,” line 18; to omit “ by means of lead and return wires (vide Fig. 2),” line 19; and to insert “ at C ” after “ 042,” line 33.

(9.) On page 20—after the paragraph ending “ hereinbefore mentioned ” to insert the following : “ As the purpose of rendering indicator-rails conductors is to indicate in the manner herein explained that the relative stop-rails which a train is approaching have been rendered conductors that the driver of the locomotive may stop his train before passing over the stop-rails rendered conductors. It should therefore be explained by way of correction that some of the indicator-rails shown in the drawings are in error shown as one pair of indicator-rails (vide indicator-rails at B, C, D, and E, Fig. 18) instead of two pairs of indicator-rails (vide indicator-rails 43 and 043 at B, Fig. 14). It should therefore be understood that indicator-rails where required should be in two pairs as above explained, one pair being electrically connected with one switch and the other pair with another switch as shown in the drawings.

On page 22—after the word “ apart,” line 7, to insert “ It is intended to use similar solenoids in boxes 45 as shown in Fig. 14, but omitted to be shown in error in Fig. 16 ”; after the words “ rails, &c.,” line 9, to insert “ (including solenoids in boxes 45) ”; to omit the words “ different known manners,” line 12, and to insert “ any known manner, and it should therefore be explained that the wires or conductors on or about the railway-track relating to any figures of the drawings may be arranged in any known manner and hung on posts or otherwise as desired, provided that the operations mentioned or indicated herein of rendering rails conductors and non-conductors as desired may be duly effected, and similarly the conductors on a train may be arranged in any known manner provided that the operations herein indicated may be duly effected. Fig. 17 shows a double railway-track fitted with sets of conductor-rails with switches and solenoids in boxes and conductors as therein set out. The direction from X towards Y represents the down railway-track, and from Y towards X represents the up railway-track.” To insert after “ Fig. 14,” line 16, “ as well as other rails ”; to insert “ boxes 44 ” instead of “ box 044,” line 19; to insert “ 44 at ” before “ E,” line 19; to insert “ in boxes

048 ” after “ switches,” line 19; to omit “ of ” after “ stop,” line 20; to insert “ and at places 198, 199, 226, and 227 ” after “ and F,” line 20; to insert after “ drawing,” line 21, the following : “ It will be seen on referring to Fig. 18 that there are electro-magnets 55 and 56, but on referring to Fig. 9 it will be seen that there are more electro-magnets. This is intended to indicate that any number practicable of electro-magnets may be used such as 55, 56, 63, 64, 65, and 66 in connection with switches such as shown in Fig. 9, also that any of these electro-magnets may be omitted when required.” To omit “ The single track in this case is fitted as shown in Fig. 14,” lines 21 and 22; to insert “ letters ” instead of “ points,” line 23; to insert “ outer and ” before “ inner,” line 23; to insert “ respectively the outer 194 and inner 194 ” after “ 196,” line 24; to omit “ the former,” line 24; to insert “ by wire ” after “ joined,” line 24; to omit the words “ to form a common rail and the latter likewise made common to each other,” lines 25 and 26, and to insert instead “ similarly the outer and inner rails 196 ”; to insert “ letters ” instead of “ points,” line 27; “ sets ” instead of “ a set,” line 27; “ with relative indicator-rails at places ” instead of “ at points,” line 28; to insert “ but using only three pairs of electro-magnets ” after “ Fig. 9,” line 29; to insert “ purposes ” instead of “ purpose,” line 29; to insert “ the letter C and D on the siding ” instead of “ these two points,” line 31; to insert “ and ” after “ 208,” line 32; to insert “ electrically connected ” instead of “ common to each other,” lines 32 and 33; and to insert after “ 202,” line 34, the words “ the plunger-rod of which is adapted to take between two contact-plates 203 and 204.”

(12.) On page 23—to insert “ or blades ” after “ points,” line 3; and “ thereon ” after “ filled,” line 4; to omit “ to the tongues,” line 4; and to insert “ 221 ” instead of “ 216,” line 5; after “ 234,” line 6, to insert the following : “ and have also adjacent thereto the corresponding contact-points connected with the respective circuits as shown in Fig. 18, it being intended that the siding-points at both ends should be opened or closed always together. It also being intended that when the siding-points are so set that a train may enter the siding the contact-points on the blades of the rails should make contact with corresponding adjacent contact-points connected with the necessary conductors, and, similarly, when the siding-points are so set that a train may not enter the siding other contact-points on the blades of the siding-point rails make contact with other corresponding adjacent contact-points connected with the necessary conductors as shown in Fig. 18. It will be seen that the members of two corresponding contact-points connected with wires (and these wires) respectively on the blade of siding-point rail at place 198 are in error omitted. It will also be seen that the contact-points corresponding with the contact-points 215 and 221 at place 199 are in error not shown.” To omit the words “ used in the description used,” line 8, and insert instead the word “ shown ”; to insert “ on the down journey ” before “ A train,” line 9; to omit “ at ” after “ over,” and insert “ at ” before “ B,” line 10; to insert “ and non-conductors respectively ” after “ conductors,” line 11; to insert “ and relative indicator-rails ” after “ rails,” line 12; to insert “ render ” instead of “ tender,” line 13; to insert “ and relative indicator-rails ” after “ rails,” line 13; to insert “ places ” instead of “ points,” line 13; to insert “ using wires 178, 222, 223, and 179 ” after “ conductors,” line 14; to insert “ stop and relative ” after “ rear,” line 15; to omit “ in,” line 15, and insert instead “ respectively in ”; to insert “ and relative indicator ” after “ stop,” line 17; and to insert after “ conductors,” line 17, the following : “ the train next passing over conductor-rails at D renders rear stop and relative indicator-rails conductors and non-conductors respectively and also rails ahead conductors in the manner hereinbefore mentioned, and also renders non-conductors stop and relative indicator-rails at places 226 and 227 using wires 182, 224, 225, and 183.” To omit the words from “ when the train ” down to “ situated at ” inclusive, lines 18 to 34, and to insert the following :—

“ A locomotive running funnel forward (that is, in forward gear) when, say, on the down journey and adjacent to the siding, say, between the places 197 and 198, being uncoupled and shunting away from the rest of the train, the brake-van being fitted as hereinbefore mentioned, and current flowing from one of the generators on the brake-van by the contact-rods thereon corresponding with the controller-rails 194 and 196 (vide Fig. 18), thence by wire 200 to solenoid 202, return wire 201, the solenoid 202 being thus energized the iron plunger of solenoid 202 will be withdrawn from between the contact-plates 203 and 204, and the circuits 205 and 204 being broken so that the locomotive may now, when the points are so set, continue to safely run along the siding from the direction of letter D towards letter C (vide Fig. 18), (the locomotive having entered the siding tender forward —that is, in reverse gear), and in making contact with the
