Page 3 FOREWORD HE MaglleLi.t.: Flagman is Lh e adopted standard for Hi ghway Crossin g Protection on many of the largest r a ilroa d syst ems in the United States and abroad. The Southern Pacifi c, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Santa Fe, Chicago, Milwaukee and SI. Paul, Norfolk and Western, Long Island, and scores of other roads are using this Flagman in large and ever increasing quantities. Its design is such as to eliminate as l' ar as possible wearing parts, and great care has been exercised to see that such few parts are fashioned so th at replacement may Le made at minimum expensc. The Magnetic Flagman, because of its exceptional reliaLility and extremely low cost of operation, stands supreme in the field of crossing protection, and its fin er points are perhaps better emphasized by th e föllow• ing fa cts: 1. Greatest Reliability. 2. Lowest Battery Consumption. 3. Extreme simplicity and ruggedn ess 01 construction- but three wearing parts. 4. M echanical gong requiring no additional current. 5. Widest range 01 voltage--Direcl or Alternating Currenl. 6. Lowest cost 01 maintenance. Our la test development, the Auxiliary " OUT OF ORDER" indication, providing adefinit e warning in event 01 mechanical or electrical lailure, is being in ~talled by many large railroads and receiving most favorable com ment. A description of this device appears on pages 27, 28 and 29. Flashing lights 01 the horizontal type may be effected in connection with the Magnetic Flagman, Gong and "OUT OF ORDER" indication, at practically no additional cast, and without Flashing Relays. Complete information upon request. The following page will convey an id ea as to Lh e extent of th e use of th e Magnetic Flagman.
