Cabin A maysend ten descriptions to F, providing the line has sufficientcapacity, before the first train reaches F, these descriptionsbeing automatically stored in their proper sequence in the re-ceivers at B, C, D, E and F. The cancellation of the passingtrains by cabin F causes the next description stored within theinstrument to be displayed, this operation at the intermediatestations being done automatically, as previously described. It-is expected that this method of announcing arriving trains willgreatlv facilitate the loading, and thereby shorten the 4i8 STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. [Vol. XXV. No. 9.
