  • Abstract
    Efforts to perfect automatic devices which will give major highways a green light at all times except as change is actually required by traffic on minor intersecting streets now have turned to the grid-glow and photoelectric tubes. Operating experiences gained from trial installations are discussed and equipment features are outlined.
