Abstract

17,073. Thompson, W. P., [Watson, A.]. Aug. 1. Electric railways and tramways with third-rail sectional conductors and mechanically-operated switches. Conductors; conduits; switches; collectors.-The circuit from the main conductor f to the vehicle is completed by the action of the collector wheels or shoes k depressing the movable sections g in the third rail. These rails consist of the base a and cap b, in which the strips g are supported by springs h normally out of contact with studs or feeders i, v connected to the main conductor or conductors f. These conductors f may be mounted on insulators e in the third rails or inside the rails on which the vehicles run, as shown in Fig. 15, where several conductors are laid inside the rail made in two parts. The third rail may be made in lengths insulated from each other, and the movable sections may have overlapping ends.
