As an additional element of strength, a cap screwis put through the well of the rail and tapped into a nut fastened onthe foot of the iKind. This serves to hold the bond in place whileit is being soldered and to draw the bond into intimate contactwith the rail when the solder is melted. The cap screw becomes long between the attaching surfaces, thus using a greater length ofrail and a slioncr length of bond than usual, which correspondinglyreduces the resistance of the joint. Each strip composing the bondis separately tinned before the bond is built up so that the contactbetween the different strips is complete and uniform. There are -4 waiting rooms which have recently been built alongthe line of the road of which the one ilustrated herewith is a type. New Power House Installation.
