Abstract

22,609. Hill, E. R. April 14, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A D. 1883]. Electric railways on a sectional conductor system. Conductors.-The system is particularly adapted for lighting vehicles on electric railways in which the three-wire system is employed, the supply conductors being in sections and alternately connected to the positive and negative mains. The lamps are arranged in two groups, and two sets of collectors are employed. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the car 8, 9 runs on the neutral track 7. The sectional conductors 4, 6 are connected alternately to the mains 3 and 5, and two pairs of shoes 14, 15 are employed, the space between each pair being less than the space between the conductors 4 and 6. The shoes are connected, as shown, to the two sets of lamps 12, 13 and the motors 10 and 11. One set of lamps is thus always in circuit, and the motors are alternately in series and parallel. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement in which a train is fitted with two sets of lamps, and also the arrangement for a cross-over switch.
