October 15, 1921 Electric Railway Journal 687 Overhead Kinks from Cleveland Two Schemes for Eliminating Half the Usual Number of Poles in SuccessfulUse—Some Temporary Construction Schemes Described—A Mov-able Track Including Overhead for Car Unloading Dump INGENUITY and James Scott, for many years super-intendent of overhead Cleveland Railway, seem towork well together. In the issues of ElectricRailway Journal for July 14 and July 21, 1917, therewere presented a number of overhead construction andmaintenance kinks and new ideas in overhead equip-ment design that had been worked out by Mr. is another grist of ideas and kinks from thesame source. When a track is under reconstruction in Cleveland,. Overhead Built by thei Cleveland Railway to Be Shiftedwith Track at Dump it is the practice to lay a temporary track on top of thepavement along one side of the street, in order to keepthe cars running in both directions without the limita-tions of single-track operation. For the temporarytrolley over this track, Mr. Scott is now using f-instandard steel span wire instead of copper wire, becauseit is easier to put up and take down, it remains tightand has less sag than copper, and saves cutting up themore expensive copper trolley wire. It frequently happens that such temporary trackextends close to a corner at which there is special work,including an electrically operated switch, the temporarytrolley not joining the main trolley until the overheadcontactor has been passed. Under these conditionsit is now the practice in Cleveland to install on thetemporary trolley a second contactor, which is con-nected up in parallel with the permanent one by simplyrunnin
