A PROBLEM SOLVED
leibia of Telegraphing From a Moving
. Train.
NAY DO AWAY WITH COLLISIONS
George V Tro’t. Succeeds Wh re Edison
railed-To Utilise Te'egnph Wires
Be weeu the Kails.
:t seems that the- problem of how to
telegraph from a moving train has been
solved at last. George V. Trott, a for
mer telegraph operator, has devised an
appliance which will soon be given a
practical test, and which has been pro
nonneed by expert railroad men and
electricians to be a practical solution of
the puzzle on which inventors from
Edison down have been working for
years. Mr. Trott has been a train dis
patcher as well as a telegraph operator,
and he is familiar with the practical
difficulties to be overcome in adding
this safeguard to the operation of rail
roads.
The device is an adaptation of the
trolley or third rail principle to teleg
raphy. It is wholly mechanical and in
volved no new or untried principle of
electricity or traction. To equip « rail
road with this system Mr. Trott lays
two insulated metallic rails between
and parallel to the traction rails. On
these a trolley mechanism, consisting
of three pairs of wheels, connected by
*’knuckle joints” aud hinged to the foot
board of the engine, runs under the ten
der on the inner rails. The contact of
the metallic wheels with the metallic
rails closes the circuit just as tire trol
ley circuit is completed by the contact
of the metallic trolley wheel with the
wire. Insulated wires conduct the cur
rent into the engine cab, and, by means
of a wire teelirope, to the various cars
of the train.
The conducting rails would be simply
half sections of iron pipe, fastened to
wooden blocks with the convex side up.
The blocks would serve as insulators
and to elevate the rails out of pools of
water. The trolley wheels would have
wide flanges and, being in three pairs,
would give an interrupted circuit, as
two pairs might leave the rails without
destroying the connection.
The various circuits, which would
probably have their terminations aud
beginnings at stations where telegraph
operators were located, would be sepa
rated from each other by simply leaving
a break in the conduct rails. When the
train left one circuit and entered an
other, the connection would be opened
and closed automatically.
In order to utilize -this telegraphic
connection it would be necessary to
INVENTOR GEORGE V. TROTT,
have one or more operators on the train.
The fireman could assume this as part
of his duties, and three months of study
would make him efficient enough to
take and send ordinary messages. The
baggage master, the conductor or qne of
the brakemen might also be required to
learn the Morse code. Thus, with an
ordinary telegraph instrument or sev
eral placed in any part of the train, the
train crew would be in direct com
munication with the dispatcher’s office,
or, in fact, with the whole outside
world.
The chief convenience, however,
would be to have an instrument in the
engine cab. This would enable the fire
man, while the train was under any
rate of speed, to receive orders and
transmit them to the engineer. Take a
supposititious case. A heavy freight is

laid up with a nor oox, 'but nas man
aged to crawl off the main line on to a
siding. Behind is the fast mail. Under
the present conditions the mail train
would be held until the freight had
passed the station beyond or until word
of its whereabouts had been received.
With Mr. Trott’s system in operation
the engineer of the freight could- -com
municate directly with the train dis
patcher, inform him of his difficulty
and his position, the dispatcher could
notify the engineer of the mail train
that the track was clear and a great
deal of delay and expense could be
avoided. Hardly an hour passes in the
existence of any railroad system where
such a convenience would not be ap
preciated. It would make collisions
practically unheard of.
The advantages of placing the engi
neer in communication with the dis
patcher would, of course, be the princi
pal object in equipping a road with Mr.
Trott’s device, but incidentally many
other valuable features would be gain
ed. Open switches, open or destroyed
bridges or washouts could, be detected
in time to prevent accidents. Passen
gers would be enabled to send and re
ceive messages while en route, and stock
quotations might be posted on a black
board as the train sped along.
Air. Trott is a frail looking young
man of 31 who has been in poor health
for some time. He has been a telegraph
operator in several parts of the country
and was for a time train dispatcher in
Santa Fe. At present he lives in Chica
go. He has patented several other in

REID GOES TO PEN.
The Slayer of J. W. Halstead of Macon,
Will Serve Three Years.
Charles R, Reid, who was sentenced
to the penitentiary last week for three
years for killing L. W. Halstead, was
sent off to the penitentiary yesterday
morning says the Macon Telegraph.
Guard John D. Reid, who came for
Charley Reid, did not know to what
camp the prisoner would be assigned,
but said it would be decided when
they arrived in Atlanta. He thought
it probable, bower, that the prisoner
would be sent to the camps of the
Chatrahooche Brick company, neat
Atlanta.
Reid’s departure from the jail was
pathetic. His wife was at the jail to
bid him'good bye. She was accompa
nied by their eldest child, but the lit-
Ite babe was left at home. The part
ing between the prisoner who goes to
the penitentiary for three years to i
wear a convict’s garb, and the wife |
whose honor he claims to have been
defending when he committed the
crime that sent him there, was deeply
affecting, and t the stout-hearted jail
officials were considerably moved at
witnessing it.
Reid was a favorite with all of the
prisoners in his department of the jail,
but his leave-taking with Dennington was
mora I'eelii g than with the others. He
told them all good bye in a voice filled
with emotion, and said he regretted to
leave them. Guard Reid too took him
away on the 8 o’clock train and by the
time this is read he will be wearing the
stripes at the Cbattahoohee camps as it is
understood that there is little doubt
about his being assigned to those camps,
but in what capacity is not known. It is
not believed that he will be put to work
at hard labor, as he is hardly capable of
much endurance. With good behavior
Reid will be out in leas than two and a
half years.
