The weak point in the movement is thatwith the short motion available there isnot travel enough in which to make thelocking of the switch certain, owing to thespring in the connections when the switchis any great distance from the tower. Aswith the locking of the levers in the tower,it is taken for granted that if the lever ispulled over for its entire distance theswitch has been thrown, and it is therefore 692 which may be in the pipe line will mate-rially affect the amount
