No. 542,105.—CONDUIT ELECTRIC RAILWAY. 542,105. CONDUIT ELECTRIC RAILWAY : Leonidas C. Pressley, San Filed Feb. 13, 1895. Insulated conducting rails are supported in linealternately on each side of a central line. Trolley wheels connected withthe cars are adapted to travel alternately upon one rail and the succeedingone. Electromagnets wilh movable armatures are adapted to make connec-tion between the main conductor and the terminal end of each rail whenenergized, means being provided for energizing each preceding magnetfrom the succeeding rail. This is accomplished by overlapping the rail sothat two trolleys are temporarily traveling upon the two rails. Means areprovided for cutting out Jhe preceding rail as soon as the succeeding onehas been energized. These consist of a second electromagnet by which aswinging armature is attracted when the second magnet is energized. Ashort independent rail section and a wire connect with this magnet, t
