Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed beginning with the front cover and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All other original copies are filmed beginning on ':he firs: page with a printed or illustrated impres- sion, and ending on the last page with a printed or illustrated impression. The last recorded frame on each microfiche shall contain the symbol —<»> (meaning 'CON- TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"), whichever applies. Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to right and top to bottom, a« many frames as required.

THE COOKE PATENT ALL RAIL SAFETY SWITCH, Now in use i i upwards of fifty railways in tlic United States, recommended by several of the State Railway Commissioners, and adopted l)y the Canadian Pacific Railway Co. for its Entire System in the Dominion, and THE BAKER PATENT AUTOMATIC SAFETY SWITCH STAND, in use on the Canadian Pacific Railway, have been combined for their introdui;tion on the Railways of the Domin- ion, and will be introduced l)y the Railway Safety Appliance Co. (Limitedj, of Canada. THE COOKE SV/ITCH has been improved by practical observations made from its operation in the Track, and is now the most perfect safety switch in use. THE BAKER AUTOMATIC SAFETY STAND is self-locking and jirovided with an Kxtra (Safety) Bar that will hold the switch in the desired position, allhnugh the connecting rod may be broken by lateral pressure from a passing train. (In fact, by the use of this additional safety rod, it would be impossible for a connecting rod to break, ,uul it thus jirevents tliis class of accidents, which are (piite fie(|iient. The combiiiatidii of tliese two valuable safety device^ forms the most practical 'I'rack Safety known, and at llie same time are simple and clieap to construct and maintain. Appended are the names of various Railway.s usi;ig die Safely \ppliances, also copy of Resolutions of Railway Commissioners, with descriptions and cuts of the two devices.
