Up to the present the manufacturers have confined theiroutput to single trucks, but double trucks may be built. A TELEPHONE TRAIN-DISPATCHING SYSTEM PARALLELING A HIGH-TENSION TRANSMISSION LINE. Type C Truck disks on each end of the truck are two additional steelcontact disks which are provided with fiber rims, and by asystem of levers they may be pressed against either of thedriving contact disks. The driven interior disks may alsobe moved on the shaft on which they are mounted in andout from the center of the driving disks. In this wayvariations in the speed of the car may be secured withoutany change in the speed of the engine, which runs con-tinuously. The four driven disks are mechanically con- The New York, Westchester & Boston Railroad is nowinstalling a Western Electric telephone installation whichis particularly interesting because it is the first installationof a telephone train-dispatching system paralleled by high-tension, single-phase circuits. The method of protectingthe telephone user, keeping the cable drained from inducedcurrents from the transmission line and at the same timegiving standard transmission, is a problem which will beappreciated by those who
