Text Appearing Before Image:
h (Fig. 321) they have been reduced to one and placed alongside a tie, thus facilitating the operation of tamping the ties and not being in the way of snow and ice. The ChannelSplit Switch (Fig. 322) has no bridle rods. The slide plates, in some cases, are extended across the track from rail to rail, and planed out for the base of the rail to set in, thus preserving the gauge (see Figs. 321 and 322). There are makes of switch stands which admit of this being done. Fig. 135 represents one. The adjustment for the wear of the points is taken up by some makers at the switch stand; Fig. 321 shows a method of doing it with the head and bridle rods. Fig. 323 illustrates the Lorenz Safety Split Switch. The peculiarity of this switch consists in the safety appliance being a heavy spring attached to a bridle rod at the point of the switch; this spring is strong enough to cause positive motion of the switch points, yet when a car from a siding runs into the switch, the spring will give MAINTENANCE OF WAT. 373
