In the Electric Railway Journal for Sept. 9, 1916,page 455, a test board with special fuse and lamp test-ing appliances was described, and another type of de-vice that may be used for the same purpose is a specialterminal block to make contact with the fuse under blocks have slanting V-grooves, as shown in the. PROTECTIVE CONTACT BLOCKS FOR TESTING FUSESOF VARIOUS LENGTHS accompanying drawing, to accommodate fuses of vari-ous sizes and also to protect the operator from elec-trical contact. Two blocks are so placed in the testingcircuit that the smallest fuse can just span the distancebetween them. A larger fuse makes contact nearer theopposite ends of the blocks and its middle point, or th«operators hand, is remote from the bottom of thegroove, thus insuring greater safety. The terminal blocks and an old style, threadlesssocket, into which test lamps can be quickly pressed,are mounted on a slate base with the other testing ap-paratus. This equipment, if placed near the inspectionor repair track for the use of the men working on cars,is very convenient. Should Trolley Poles Be Set witha Rake? BY J. G.
