Abstract
17,909. K÷nig, C. Aug. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Indicating movements of trains.-The position of a moving vehicle on a railway, tramway, parceltransferring system, or towing-track, or of a crane or other transporting-apparatus, is indicated by an arrangement of conductors in the form of a Wheatstone bridge, the moving vehicle making contact between the source of energy and an auxiliary conductor along the track at the junction of the variable arms of the bridge, the constant arms being connected to the return conductor. The signalling-devices are connected across the outer ends of the fixed arms. In the arrangements shown, the indicators are connected to the ends of the conductors forming the variable arms W<1>, W<2> and the fixed arms W<3>, W'. In Fig 2, the train carries the battery 13. In Fig 3, the battery 24 is in a fixed position connected to one track rail and the junction of .the arms W<3>, W<4>, and is connected to the variable arms by the train wheels. In Fig. 4, the power line 29 serves as a source of energy for the indicating system which includes two auxiliary conductors.
