Abstract
A deicing or ice-prevention unit, comprised mainly of wrought iron pipe and an electrical heating element, has been devised by the Cleveland Railway Company, Cleveland, Ohio, to prevent track switches from freezing. Wrought iron was selected because of corrosive conditions encountered, especially from salt which is used to clear streets of ice and snow.
