A current collector depends from thecar, having positive and negative contact surfaces, electrically concealedwith ihe motor and adapted to rotate. Opposite arms or frames are hingedto supports in the circuit, and to each of them a contact bar is attached, butinsulated therefrom. The bars lie a suitable distance apart along the pathof the current gatherer. From each of the frames a lever projects for actuat-ing a pivoted box or vessel hermetically closed and inclosing the contactpoints of the feed wires leading from the main conductors.

The fenderconsists of a vertical support adapted to be attached to a car frame towhich a right-angled frame is pivotally connected, so as to swing in a ver-tical plane. There are flanged shoes on the forward end cf the latterframe adapted to engage with tbe rails. Mechanism connects a lever ontbe dashboard with the right -angled frame, by meansof which theshoes aiecaused to engage with the rails. 539,444. EMERGENCY RAIL BRAKE; Enoch Prouty, Chicago. 111. FiledMarch 21. 3895. This is a brake which was invented for use on cable trainsin Chicago to add to tbe safety on the steep grade in the tunnels under theChicago River.
