Abstract
MANY NEW AND USEFUL TECHNIQUES have become available in the communications field in recent years. There is a natural and quite proper desire to employ these new techniques for the control of railway traffic. A modern railway signaling system must have as its foundation properly designed fail-safe circuits; but under the careful guidance of a signal engineer, the more conventional communications circuits may then be superimposed and the remote control of railway traffic achieved with complete safety.
