1979 – July – Shea – Communication Aspects of Westrail Material Supply
Author(s):
Date presented:
G Shea Westrail An interactive computing system for the control of pur- chasing for Westrail has recently been established. Supporting communication facilities consisting of main and standby data links, peripheral switching, order wire and multiple line telephone access have been provided by the Signal and Communications Branch.
1966 – July – Adamson – Modern Trends in Railway Signalling
Author(s):
Date presented:
WJ Adamson AMIRSE In recent years, the importance of a modern, efficient, signalling system for the Railways of Great Britain has increased enormously. Since the Nationalisation of the Railway Companies in 1947, the British Railways, or British Rail, as it is now called, has spent over £400 million on the modernisation of its Railway System, to meet the demand for a faster and more economic service. The signalling system has advanced from being a means of providing safety for the running of the railway, to a point where it is essential for the control of the railway network and although safety is still a basic requirement, the purpose of such a system is to co-ordinate and control1 traffic in the most efficient and economic manner possible. This paper has tried to outline some of the many developments which have taken place over these years of modernisation and to stress a few of the advantages which may be gained from extensive signalling installations.
1974 – Nov – Clare – Train Describer Systems
Author(s):
Date presented:
MA Clare Westinghouse Brake & Signal Co Ltd It is the purpose of this paper to review the development of Train Describer systems, consider how they have become an aid to controlling and regulating the flow of rail traffic and to examine how a present day Train Describer system performs the various functions it is called upon to carry out. The computer based Train Describer has realised that many other ancillary functions, in addition to its primary requirement of train describing, are possible, and therefore, or though necessarily dealt with in brief, the paper looks at some of the ancillary functions in respect to what a computer based Train Describer of the future could possibly comprise of.
1948 – Aug – Wright – The Design and Manufacture of Insulated Wires and Cables
Author(s): J. M. WRIGHT, A.I.R.I., A.A.C.I.
Date presented:
Of all the use to which rubber insulated cables are put there is none more irnportant than that of Railway Signalling. The cables formm the nerve centres of electrical signalling on which the safety of the congested rail traffic in City and Suburbs and the high speed Interstate Expresses so largely depends.
1952 – June – Wilson – Communications Systems of NSW Railways
Author(s):
Date presented:
GG Wilson ASTC MIRSE AMIE (Aust) Engineer for Communications, Department of Railways NSW We are all familiar with the visible components of transport - the busy terminals, extensive marshalling yards and a variety of rolling stock, including the latest designs in locomotives which never fail to hold the attention of he public and the admiration of the schoolboy. Behind the scenes, there is always another story, not quite so colouful, but not less impressive in its contribution to the transport facilities of the State.
