Foreman Frisco SystemMonet, Mo- than ELONGATING SPRING ON SWITCH ROD spring is bolted at each end, and formspart of the switch rod, the folds beingabout 6 ins. wide and the spring is madeout of 4xyi steel. When it is in placeit occupies about 12 or 14 ins. in length. The spring is made compact in thisway, the loops touch each other so thatthe spring cannot be compressed andthe switch rod is therefore practicallysolid for normal traffic over the a car or engine backs through theswitch, down the wrong track,
