TV To Work Level Crossing Signal
(From a Reuter Correspondent.) STOCKHOLM. Experiments with television to work a railway level crossing are to be made in Gaevle, an east Swedish port.
Television cameras will be set up by the crossing, consisting of a large number of railway tracks crossing a city street, and will transmit a picture to the signal box which is situated some distance away and out of normal eyesight. The signalmen will operate the closing or opening of the railway crossing to street traffic as the cameras show the tracks to be engaged or free. This system will, it is hoped, give quicker working than ordinary signals. Because there is a complex network of track over the crossing, a simple and quick acting system of signals is difficult to arrange.
