19,829. Chapman, W. Oct. 4. Electric railways and tramways on the conduit system with means for operating the points of the running rails and the conduit slot. Conduits; permanent way.-Figs. 1, 3, and 4 show spring points for the conduit slot. Tongues 28, 29 with bevelled ends are pivoted under the top of the slot rails 27, and are held by the springs 33 so as normally to close one of the slots. By reversing the flanged sleeve 38 on the screwed stud 34 of the tongue, the latter can be readily changed from the open to the closed position. Fig. 7 shows the arrangements for operating the points by hand. Similar tongues 40, 41 are worked through the levers 43, 44 from the lever 59, and similar connections (not shown) from the rocking shaft 50 also operate the rail points. Counterweights 61 are provided to hold the points in either position.
