Definitions

• FIG.2 is a larger diagram of the preferred arrangement of circuits for eithera car or station; Fig. 3, a similar diagram of a modified arrangement of circuits, and Fig.4 a view of the vibrator which we prefer to use.
• One feature of our invention is the dividing of the transmitting induction-coil--that is, using two or more small coils instead of one large one.
• each station or car a single induction-coil having in its primary circuit a key and a vibrator, while its secondary circuit was connected in one direction with the earth,and in the other, at the station, through condensers to the tele graph-wires, and on the car with the metal roof thereof.
• A represents a station, and B a car, each provided with signal transmitting and receiving apparatus em-. bodying our invention.
• station such apparatus is connected by wires a a, through condensers I) I), with the ordinary telegraphwires, 0 c,which extend along the track.
• car the apparatus is connected by. wire (1 with the metal roof of the car or with metal strips placed thereon.
• ratus is provided with a switch, 6, by which either the receiving or transmitting apparatus 'is connected in circuit.
• the vibrations communicated to the telegraph-wires by the transmitter at the station are transmitted by induction to the roof of the ear and to the receiving apparatus thercin,while the vibrations
• Each signaling appatransmitted from the car induce vibrations stitutes another feature of our invention inpnrsuance of the general object of increasing the rapidity and distinctness of the vibrations; It consists of a diaphragm, F, like a telephonediaphragmand preferably'of' metal, secured rigidly at i s edges, and having atits center, which is immediately in front of the core of the induction-coil D, a contact-piece,f, which makes and breaks circuit as the diaphragm is moved by the attraction of said core with a stationary contact-point, g.

• the receiving apparatus is a telephoneceiver, G, in circuit between switch e ground.
• Diaphragms used as vibrators give more rapid, "clear, and distinct vibrations than have heretofore been produced by the use of reeds or pivoted or other vibrators.
• the division of the induction-coils has a similar efi'eet,sincc the smaller inductioneoils act with much greater rapidity than large ones.

• the battery is divided into two parts in multiple arc to each other, and each in series with the primary of one of the inductions,which also are in multiple arc to each other.
• the vibrator is common to both primary circuits. and a double key, H, is employed, which aii'ects the two primary circuits alike and simultaneously.
• Each induction-coil primary is shunted by a condenser, Lwhich we find also serves to increase the clearness of the vibrations.
