Of com-se this would only be possible imder exceptional conditions of wagon-way, and as considerable labour would be required were the socket connection adopted, the clampwould be the most economical mode of attachment. Stations by the side of the mainway might be worked by the system 3948. without much difficulty, but would re-quire rather more labour than by thetail-rope system. At Shireoaks therope at the station passes under theway, and when the ingoing set is in-tended for the station, the clamp isremoved some distance from thepoints, and the set runs into thesiding by itself. With this arrange-ment the set could not go any fartherinbye, if attached to the rope, but, as.
