The side bearings are insulated in the same manner as thecenter plates. A careful study of the plans will show the strength,durability, and safety of this type of insulation. Having shown the operation of the instruments and equip-ment in the cab, we will now take up the instruments, wiring, andform of applying same to train control along the track or rightof wav.
