The distant signal at station X is controlled inthe same way through i-elay </, which receives- energy through cir-cuit breaker 2 on signal H and distant control wire 21. whichmay be traced to circuit breaker ,2 at station V. Signal H, whenput to the stop position, causes the distunt^signal on the same postto also go to the horizontal position by opening circuit breaker 2. The control wires not numbered are for the westbound common wire is shown by a heavy line throughout the drawing. The control wires are run through the switch instruments inthe usual manner, and opening either switch 14 or switch 15 putsin the stop position the si,gnals on both main tracks.
