Go Day Extension of the Contract for Train Control Device
The Steigelmeyer Manufacturing Company and local committee extend the contract for locating a plant here to manufacture an automatic train control device by sixty days. A preliminary test on the Big Four line near Indianapolis showed the device stopped a locomotive and coach from 12 to 58 mph within 300 to 900 feet. A subsequent adjustment is planned for compatibility with electric zones in New York, with a public test to follow and possible plant site decisions.
