  • Abstract
    The Syncroscan system, a new approach to the problem of centralized traffic control, retains relay coding equipment, with its inherent reliability, for transmitting control information to the field. In addition, it uses an electronic scanning system to provide the speed and capacity necessary to report up-to-the-moment information from hundreds of miles of railroad.
