OUTLINE OF ELECTRIC SWITCHER LOCOMOTIVE FOR CHILEAN STATE RAILWAYS. a central equipment compartment, is car-ried on center pins located approximatelyoyer the midpoint of each rigid wheelbase. One center pin is restrained bothlongitudinally and laterally and the otherin the lateral direction only, which permitsfree longitudinal movement of the cabrelative to one truck. Individual switches mounted in banksestablish the main circuit switch is a complete unit in itselfand may be removed without disturbingadjacent switches. Compressed air con-trolled by electro-magnetic valves is usedto operate the switches. For certain cir-cuits where nn current is broken andfor low voltages, cam switches are also operate by compressed air con-trolled by electro-inagnetic valves. Thecam group comprises a number of on a single shaft, connectedthrough a rack and
