RAILWAY INVENTIONS
SOLD TO JAPAN. MAORJ MAKES PROFITABLE DEAL. Whilst on tour with Ratana’s party, Mr Rikirangi Paora, of Auckland, made a profitable deal with a Japanese firm in connection with his railway inventions. There are two inventions one an automatic apparatus for the purpose of warning pedestrians and traffic of the approach of a train to a road crossing by burning lights and horn sounding, and the other a device for the warning of trains of landslips and washouts. These inventions were not taken-up by the New Zealand Railways Department before Mr Paora went away, and while in Tokio he signed a contract with a Japanese firm, U. Yamamoto and Company, which, he states, has manufacturing branches in all parts of the world, and holds the rights to construct and use inventions in Japan, China, and Russia.
