Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the historical development and the practical applications of electricity in the operation and maintenance of the signalling systems used on railways during the nineteenth century. The author, a former Superintendent of the London and South Western Railway, provides a comprehensive examination of the principles and instruments used in the implementation of the various electrical systems deployed for this purpose during the period. Beginning with a discussion of the fundamental principles of electricity, the author traces the growth and evolution of the early telegraphs and signalling systems found on railways from the 1830s onwards. Particular attention is paid to the individual inventors and companies responsible for these advances, and the text includes descriptions of the key electrical instruments developed over time. The book concludes by examining the potential of automatic systems and interlocking signals to enhance safety and efficiency within railway operations.
