Roriksok! System or Ei.cctro-Mao-kitic
Raii.wat SiQNAlK.--W hs been
sbowo the model of a new and ingenious
Invention of Mr. Wm. Roblnaon, of tbis
pi (. wbiob is known ss Robinson's System
of Electro Mnnolic Railway Signals, indi
cating the locution, direction, nrpidity and
length of Irnint; also, switch and drawbridge
signal. Tbe proceaa comixm uf a ryatem
ol electric wine so arranged that when
trains approach a crossing on either track,
frem either direction, when distant say one
half a mile, will close a circuit by tbe pres
sure of tbe car wheel against a wire ou tbe
track, which will set a bell at th crossing
to ringing, tbe bell continuing to ring un
til Ibe train has pasted when the circuit is
broken and it ceases to ring. When desired
a gate may be operated on in tbe same man
ner in addition to tbe bell.
At curves end cuts by tbe prewure of the
wheels against tbe electric wires two lift.
nalt will be thrown up ly train, one as it
approaches curve, and at same time one
around curre,as a protection irom wills
loos either in front or rear.
At tunnels on eutering of train a signal
will be exhibited at tbe other eod, and
when it passes through a bell will ring
opposite end ludicatiog It exit front tbe
tunnel.
Trains parsing any point will indicate at
nations its location, direction, rapidity and
length by a very eiiaple process of ringing
telegraphic letter.
Switch and drawbridge signals If the
switob is off tbe main hue an approaching
train will sound a gong or ball at tbe eta
lion, and also rale red signals ahead, indi
cating to tbe engineer that there is danger.
The wbole process is made to work by
automatic slreuits closed and opened by the
pressure of tbe wheels. It requires but lit
tle attention, and costs but a moderate sum.
The batteries only require looking slter bnt
onee io erery few weeks. Tbe wbole sys
tem has been broadly patented by Mr. R.,
and model are now on exhibition at Bal
laotioe's Industrial Works, Franklin street,
Titutrille, for few week, aTtcr which,
tbey will be sent to the American Institute
Fair at New York.
The invention is an important one, and
should tbey be generally adopted by rail
road companies, would obviate tbe number
of accidents that trains arc subject to.
