Thesupplementary wires are placed along the ends of theties at about 6 ft. from the rail joints to avoid inter-ference by track-repair gangs. This method has beenfound to give the highest mechanical and electricalefficiency for return-circuit work. The return-circuit wiring of all special work is keptin an indexed file of individual drawings 8 in. x 13 size. Examples of such arrangements are thedrawings on page 596 of Big Tree Loop on Wash-ington Avenue, Belleville, and Fourth Street andBergenline Avenue, Union Hill, which show re- 1 f > i! 1/. / \* v>- Overhead Construction—Front of Bondingspectors Report Used for Special Work In- spectively the application of crown-pin bond ter-minals and of terminal plates.
