THE COLLIERY GUARDIAN

recorded signals cannot be cancelled until the signal is
complied with. In the case of mine shaft signalling (where
the signal for “ men ” would generally be the special signal)
if the original or call signal of three is given by the banks-
man, and shown on the corresponding recording indicator,
the confirmatory or “ acceptance ” signal will be given by
an onsetter, and be shown on the corresponding indicator
for the onsetter. Means are provided for re-setting the
main indicator immediately on a change of motion of the
engine, and for re-setting any main indicator immediately
by giving a new signal, as well as for re-setting the recorded
signal after it has been fully complied with. A. switch is
operated by the banksman for extending the range of
signalling from any one level to the engineman, and at the
same time indicating to the engineman, through contacts
on the switch, which level he is in communication with.
There is also an emergency danger signal operable from any
signalling point, and indicating to the engineman that he
must stop the engine. (Eight claims.)

CATALOGUES, DIARIES AND CALENDARS.

W. H. Bowater Limited (Birmingham). — A cheerful-
looking calendar, with the ruddiness of the coal fire about
it, relieved in part by a black ground, will answer the
purpose of anyone needing a handy date indicator for the
wall. The tear-off slips are neat as well as bold.

British Insulated and Helsby Cables Limited (Prescot,
Lancashire).—An illustrated leaflet (No. 149), ready for
filing, has been issued by the company, relative to the
Prescot fuse boxes. These are strong, simple, and—as
practice, proves—effectively designed for the purpose in
view. The boxes are of the iron-sealing type for single
cables, and are fitted with porcelain bridge fuses. All live
metal parts are so protected that they cannot be inadver-
tently touched at any time, and the design of the fuse
handle and base renders impossible the scattering of metal
when the fuses operate. The Home Office requirements
are complied with in all details.

Sir W. G. Armstrong, Whitworth and Company Limited
(Openshaw).—The artist’s skill has been invoked in the pro-
duction of one of the handsomest wall calendars issued by
any firm. The casting of the “A. W.” brands of high-
speed steel is illustrated at its most brilliantly effective
stage—the pouring of the white hot metal into moulds.
The central figure, that of a brawny workman, grasps the
handle of the ladle and empties the bowl of its njolten con-
tents, the sun-like radiance of which lights up the scene.
The general tone of the remainder of the calendar is a
pleasing grey, with white lettering. Although larger than
the average wall calendar, the effectiveness produced well
merits the space given to it.
