For anyone who may be interested, here is a photograph of a timing relay used for electrically locking a hand-operated switch. This one came from the Reading RR's Reading to Pottsville CTC. The adjustment range is 30 seconds to 26 minutes. This particular one was made by General Railway Signal Co, their model KB-2, and probably weighs close to 15 pounds. The Erie would have, no doubt, used US&S equipment to handle the same function, but I do not have a US&S timing relay to photograph for you.







Attachment.
