Q 1 LOCKER MADE OF EX-PANDED METAL ■ December 30, 1905.] STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. 1149 A NEW CHARGING RECEPTACLE The extensive use of electrically-operated vehicles and thevaried application of storage batteries for train lighting, smallelectric locomotives, storage battery cars, etc., has created *ademand for convenient and durable accessories, one of themost important being a charging receptacle that will with-stand hard usage and can be handled without danger of short-circuiting the line when inserting or removing the plug. Withthis idea in mind, the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing. CHARGING RECEPTACLE, WITH CABLE ATTACHED Company has developed and placed upon the market a chargingreceptacle to meet the most rigid requirements. It consists of a cast metal case, circular in form, that occu-pies a minimum amount of space. Within the case are suitablymounted contacts for receiving the plug. A hinged lid at oneend, held normally closed by a coiled spring, affords access tothe interior. The receptacle being entirely enclosed, effectuallyprotects it from dirt and water. The plug and- contacts withinthe receptacle are so designed that it is impossible to cause ashort-circuit when inserting or withdrawing the plug. Thereceptacle may be provided with a swivel attachment, con-forming to standard railway practice, which is a decided ad-vantage, as it admits the pulling out of the plug when thevehicle or car starts, the receptacle swinging in line with thecable and allowing the plug to pull out without danger ofbreaking the cables or contacts.
