By means of this, it canbe fish-plated to any kind of a rail by simply off-setting the fish plates enough to bring the treadsof the rail and switch on a The Fingree The accompanying illustrations show the gen-eral design of the new switch which has recentlybeen placed on the market under the abovename. It is specially adapted for electric and cableroads and places where the traffic is heavy andthe wear on the tracks severe.

The two end chairs are bolted to the switch,and the two centre ones are made movable toconform to the position of the cross ties. The centre rib serves to strengthen the cast-ing, and also to receive the tie rods which passthrough it.
