Standards: Railway control standards revision proposed

A revision of A. I. E. E. Standard No. 16, Railway Control and Mine Locomotive Control Apparatus, has been approved by the Standards Committee and is shortly to be issued in report form in order to permit industry to familiarize itself with the suggested changes, the present Standard No. 16 to remain in force until revisions are finally accepted. Incidentally, Standard No. 16 has been split into two parts as follows: Railway Control Apparatus, and Mine Locomotive Control Apparatus. A Sectional Committee, under the joint sponsorship of the American Mining Congress, National Electrical Manufacturers Association, and A. I. E. E., is to be formed to develop an American Standard for the Mine Locomotive Control Apparatus.
