January 3, 1903.] STREET RAILWAY JOURNAL. 45 SINGLE BRANCH FUSE BLOCKS Appreciating the demand for enclosed fuse branch blocksthe H. W. Johns-Manville Company has perfected a line ofsingle branch blocks herewith illustrated, which contains fea-tures of merit that will unquestionably appeal to the construct-ing engineer and other users of such devices. The company hasdeparted from the usual arrangement for branch block SINGLE-BRANCH FUSE BLOCK in which tlie fuses for the branch circuits abut at right anglesto the outside of the two or three parallel main wires. Thisconstruction requires a block of some size, owing to the factthat it is necessary to give space for the main wires and branchfuses separately. In the Noark branch blocks the object hasbeen to economize space and at the same time produce a branchblock in which the arrangement of the wires and fuses shouldbe absolutely safe, both in the operation and manipulation ofthe device. To obtain this result the branch fuses are arrangedso that each of the terminals in which the branch fuses arcreceived and to which the branch wires are connected areseparated from the adjoining terminals by heavy partitionwalls, high enough above the contacts to prevent anythingbeing laid across from contact to contact and cause short cir-cuiting. This feature is also predominant in this companysmain blocks. The main wires to which the
