HELIOSTAT. 1879 explained in the Shireoaks report, the set when going in is disconnected from the rope beforereaching the station, and the inclination of the way is sufScient to take it to the end of the will thus be seen that on the Shireoaks plane, stations could not be worked under other conditionsthan those described. They might, however, be arranged like the tail-rope stations, Fig. 3943, andby having the points leading from the main way to the siding movable, as shown, Fig. 3948, thedifficulty of the rope being endless would be obviated. Here the rail A B moves on a pivot at A,Fig. 3948 ; if the set had to go into the station, this rail would be placed as shown, the ropepassing under the rail ; if it were intended for the main road, the rail would be put into theposition AB. More labour would be necessary in leading coals from stations in this way thanis requisite with the tail-rope system, which is very well adapted for the purpose. As this system is capable of conveyi
