Definitions

  • switch rails 24a and 26a are swung clockwise substan-v tially in unison until the switch rail 26a is arrested at one end by the frog.
  • the continued force exerted by the spring 58 is effective, however, to overcome the spring 82, forcing the rail 26a to' rock clockwise about the point at which it bears against the frog, and thereby to establish firm and dependable contact with the rail 18a.
