The coasting register consists of a time-recording ap-paratus very similar to the shop recording time clocksmanufactured by the International Time Recording Com-pany, Endicott, N. Y., which is electrically interlockedwith the air brake and the electrical control control circuits are shown in one of the circuit is made through contact i?-3 of the multiple-unit control system; the other is made through the pistonof the brake cylinder, which closes the circuit when thepiston is in the off position. Both of these circuits mustbe closed to allow the clock to run. In other words, the de-vice becomes operative only during the period in which WOO 35r. ao 30 40Ttme in SecondsSpeed-Time Curve of Typical Run on Third AvenueElevated After Applying Coasting Register current is shut off from the motors and before the applica-tion of the brakes. An automatic record of the time duringwhich the clock runs is printed on a strip of paper con-tained within the case of the clock.

The clockdoes not begin to run, however, until the car begins tocoast, and it stops each time that the car ceases to the end of the run the motorman removes the key in-serted in the clock at the beginning of the run, and by sodoing stamps the final time on the paper slip, together withhis distinguishing number or mark.
