Themechanical strain oithe switch was re-lieved by insertingred fiber stop blockson both sides, asshown in the illus-tration. These werefastened to the baseby two countersunkscrews. The current-carrying capacity of the switcheswas increased by soldering second-hand copper pigtailsbetween the switch blade and the irfain lead, thus shunt-ing the hinge of the switch. These pigtail shunts canalso be seen in the IMPROVEMENTS TO CONTROLLERCUTOUT SWITCH Templets for Measuring TrackSpecial Work BY THOMAS B.
