LEVEL CROSSING DANGER.
A:; ’ OPINION OF MR T. EDISON
SIMPLE AND EFFECTIVE
DEVICE.
The Te Awamutu Chamber of
''Commerce, ' in following up its aborts urging the minimising of ; Gangers at. railway crossings, n found a widespread but erroneous opinion that there are serious dif- ■ Acuities' to be faced in the establishment of automatic signals. . Reference to Mr Thomas Edison, | the world-famed inventor, shows i that no such opinion is held by L him.'; He sees no difficulties in Ikhis connection., Replying to the Awamutu Chamber from his laboratory in Orange, New Jeron August Ist, Mr Edison says Let me say in reply that there are many, devices already jin use where a train approaching a crossing rings a bell electrically. • This is simple. Any of your electrical engineers could apply to your crossings an electrical device which would automatically ring a bell at the crossings long in'advance of the train’s Vap- •; proach.”' , ' / ■
