No. 29081.—7th February, 1910.†—ARTHUR REGINALD ANGUS, of Spit Road, Mosman, New South Wales, Australia, Solicitor. Improvements in or relating to railway safe-running devices, “A.”

Claims.—(1.) A method or means of preventing collisions between railway-trains consisting of one or more generators of electricity placed in a signal-box or other place, and contacts arranged adjacent to contacts placed on the levers or the like, operating interlocked signals and points by means of which one or more circuits may or may not be made or broken by a signalman or other person accordingly as the said generator or generators and the circuit or circuits relating thereto is or are, or is or are not, in normal order and any interlocked section of bonded rails is or is not occupied by a train whereby a train adapted with one or more generators of electricity and means for making contact may, on making contact with contacts placed on or about the railway-track, automatically make or break, or fail to make or break, one or more circuits relating to contacts placed on or about the railway-track so that any other adapted train shall, on making contact with any of last-mentioned contacts placed on or about the railway-track, automatically ring a bell and raise a miniature signal on the train with or without shutting off steam on the locomotive and applying the brakes of the train, for the purposes set forth, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings.

No. 29082.—7th February, 1910.†—ARTHUR REGINALD ANGUS, of Spit Road, Mosman, New South Wales, Australia, Solicitor. Improvements in or relating to railway safe-running devices, “B.”

Claims.—(1.) A method or means of preventing collisions between railway-trains consisting of one or more generators of electricity placed on the train and adapted to make contact with a contact placed on or about the railway-track, which contact is connected by a conductor, such as iron telegraphic wire, with one or more relays relating to other contacts placed on or about the railway-track, for the purposes set forth, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (2.) A method or means of preventing collisions between railway-trains consisting of one or more generators of electricity placed on a train and adapted so that as a train makes contact with a contact placed on or about the railway-track it may render other contacts placed on or about the railway-track conductors so that any other adapted train, on making contact with any of last-mentioned contacts rendered conductors, may ring a bell on the train with or without shutting off steam on the locomotive and applying the brakes of the train, for the purposes set forth, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (3.) In a railway system for the prevention of collisions between railway-trains, a method or means whereby a train on reversing its direction may automatically render non-conductors the conductor-contacts placed on or about the railway-track, which method or means consists of the use of one or more generators of electricity on the train adapted to make contact with reversing-contacts connected with relays, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. . . . (5.) In a railway system for the prevention of collision between railway-trains, the combination and arrangement of electrical and mechanical parts constituting an electro-magnetic device such as 60, having cheeks such as 61 and 62, with magnets such as 63, 64, and 65 for attracting an armature such as 66, fulcrumed at 67 double-wedge edge such as 68, adapted to take into either the spring contacts such as 69 on cheek 61, or into the spring contacts such as 70 or 62 and insulated therefrom, and magnet such as 71, for the purposes set forth, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (6.) A method or means of preventing collision between railway-trains consisting of one or more generators of electricity placed on a train and adapted to make contact with contacts on the railway-track and so arranged that any train shall be protected by two contacts placed at suitable distances apart from one another rendered conductors in front of the last-mentioned train and contacts rendered conductors behind the said train, for the purposes set forth, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings.

No. 29083.—7th February, 1910.†—ARTHUR REGINALD ANGUS, of Spit Road, Mosman, New South Wales, Australia, Solicitor. Improvements in or relating to railway safe-running devices, “C.”

Claims.—(1.) A method or means of preventing collisions between railway-trains consisting of one or more generators of electricity placed on the train and adapted to make contact with a contact placed on or about the railway-track, which contact is connected by a conductor, such as copper or bronze wire, with one or more relays relating to other contacts placed on or about the railway-track, for the purposes set forth, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (2.) A method or means of preventing collision between railway-trains consisting of one or more generators of electricity placed on a train and adapted so that as a train makes contact with a contact placed on or about the railway-track it may render other contacts placed on or about the railway-track conductors so that any other adapted train on making contact with any of last-mentioned contacts rendered conductors may ring a bell on the train with or without shutting off steam on the locomotive and applying the brakes of the train, for the purposes set forth, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings. (3.) In a railway system for the prevention of collisions between railway-trains, a method or means whereby a train on reversing its direction may automatically render non-conductors the conductor-contacts placed on or about the railway-track, which method or means consists of the use of one or more generators of electricity on the train adapted to make contact with reversing-contacts connected with relays, substantially as described and explained, and as illustrated in the drawings.
