AUTOMATIC FENDER ON TOLEDO CAR drop in common use. ( )ne of the automatic devices consists ofa front trip-bar, which is forced back on coming in contact withobstructions. The transmission, through levers and cranks, ofthe motion caused by the impact operates the foot-pawl offender. Where snow obstructs the track this trip-bar might,however, prove inconvenient. It may, therefore, be turnedagainst the fender and the other automatic device used latter is operated by the weight of the body struck fallingon the fender cradle, which causes the fender to drop to theroadbed. The dropping of the fender pulls forward rocker-arms connected to levers, which operate the foot-pawl just asif the motormans foot were used. The complete fender may be quickly attached to the car bytwo bolts connected to the outside sills of the car platform.
