self to the travelling public as an ilii
,
provementin request, one that
long q
will be a great convenience to • passen-
gers and make travelling decidedly
more comfortable for those' who do not
know the various places through which
their trainsrun, and who are unable to
interpret the often unintelligible an-
nouncements of the brakeman. It is a
railroad station indicator, an apparatus.
that records the names of the different
stations, and which has: jest introduced
. Seem -
at the.headquarters un'-llluntreal ,.•
ingly the machine is a very simple con
trivance. A nicely finished frame of
polished wood, placed in prominent
view at both ends of the car. contains a
number of thin iron or tin plates, each
plate painted with a name of a station
in characters legible in any part of the
car. The names of the stations are
placed in order in which the train pass-
es through them. As each station is
passed the conductor pushes a lever on
the indicator, a gong sounds and the
previous plate drops, expressing the
words, "The next station is—," what
ever the coming place may bc. This is
repeated after every station, so that a
passenger has only to look at the indi-
cator to discover at any time the name
of the town or city which the train is
approaching, The convenience and ad-
vantages of such an invention are too
obvious to need enumeration.
