Abstract

The track includes a pair of longitudinally extending track members (16, 17) connected in transversely spaced relation by arch- shaped yokes (18) which extend upwardly over the track members and from which a conductor rail (30) is suspended in vertically spaced centered relation with the track members, the conductor rail being engageable by collectors (32) on the vehicle (10) for powering a vehicle drive motor. At a junction between main and branch lines, co-axially pivoted, independently movable, track and conductor rail switch tongues are mounted and are interconnected by a differential motion transmitting mechanism which causes one of the switch tongues to move between main and branch positions in response to a different extent of movement of the other switch tongue between such positions. <IMAGE>
