2. The combination with an electromagnet, of a magnetic extension from the core of said magnet,ymagnetically separated therefrom, an armature mounted before said core adapted to respond to current in said inagnet, a second armaturefor said magnet responsive upon an increase of current in said magnet to the attractive force of said extension, and mechanism operated by said second armature,

.3. The combination with an electromagnet, of a lateral magnetic extension from the core of said magnet, magnetically separated therefrom by a slight gap, an armature mountedbefore said core adapted to respond to current in said magnet, mechanism controlled by said armature and a second armature lying alongside `said magnet and respon- 'sive upon an increase of current in said magnet, to the attractive force of said extension.

4. The combination with an electromagnet, of a lateral magnetic extension from the core of said magnet, separated therefrom by an air-gap, a lip upon the lower portion of said extension, an armature mounted upon said lip before the inagnet'core, and responsive to current in said magnet to bridge said gap, a second armature adapted to respond upori an increase of current in said magnet to the attractive force of said extension, andmechanism operated by said armatures.

5. The combination with an electromagnet, of an L-shaped/lateral magnetic extension from one end of the core of said magnet, separated therefrom by an air-gap, an armature mounted before said core and responsive to current in said magnet to bridge said gap,

Y an L-shaped magneticextension from the other end oi said core, an armature movably mounted upon said extension and res onsive upon an increase ol current in said magnet,

to the attractive force of said first-mentioned'v extension, and mechanism operated bysaid' armature.

6. The combination with an electromagnet, of an L-sliaped lateral magnetic extension from one end of the core of said magnet, separated therefrom by an air-gap, a lip upon the lower portion of said extension, an armationed armature responding upon an increase of current in said magnet, to the attractive force of said first-mentioned extension, and contacts operated by said armature.

7. T he combination with anelectroinag- I net, of a magnetic extension from the core of said magnet, magnetically-separated therefrom, an armature mounted before said corc and responsive to current in said magnet, a

second armature for said magnet,'said arinav ture responding upon an increase of current in said magnet to the attract-ive force ci' said extension, and Contact mechanism operated by said armatures. f

S. T he combination with an electromagnet, of a plate of magnetic material secured to one end of said Aelectromagnet, said plate being cut away to receive one end of the magnct core, the space between the core and plate forming an air-gap, an armature for said magnet mounted bcl'orc the core thereof, adapted when attracted lo engage said core and plate to bridge thc air-gap, and contact mechanism operated by said armature.

9. The combination with an clectroin:ig-

Ione end of said magnet, said plate being' cui away to receive one end ol' thi` core of said magnet, the space bctu'eenthc corc and plato lormmg an annular air-gap, un armature vmounted befort` said core adapted to respond.

to current in said magnet to engage said plato and core, a second armature l'or said magnet responsive upon an increase of the current in said magnet to the attractive force of said extension, and contact mechanism operated by said armatures. v g In Witness whereof', I hereunto subscribe my name this 7th day of September A.
