THE ·NEVER-STOP- RAILWAY

POSSIBLE SOLUTION OF THE TRAFFIC PROBLEM. SOUTHEND, EXPERIMENT

At Southend-on-Sen. in the Kursaal grounds, there is in course of coinpletion a new method of transit, known as the never-stop" railway, which has remark: able possibilities in the way of relieving the passenger traffic congestion of Targe cities, an acute and serious problem in London and Paris, and one which "is rapidly becoming abnost equally, so in Manchester. This system is the invention of Mr. W. Yarath Lewis, M..Mech. E., à well-known engineer, and big associates, and consists essentially in the use of travelling carriages of a simple ixpe, close together, which never stop, passing through stations" at such a slow speed. that anyone can step on or off, but shoot. ing up instantly to a high speed between the stations. In this way the great loss of time in starting and stopping ordinary trains, whether electric or steam driven. is avoided-not only the time of the actual stopy age, but also the low of acceleration immediately before and after.

The method was first described at the British Association meeting of 1911. but although a wall experimental railway on these lines was erected at Ipswich, there has hitherto been no means of testing, the idea on a practical scale.

The equipment now under completion at Southend consists of two parallel tracks six feet apart, from centre to centre, and 300 yards long, one being the up line and the other the down." joined together, at each and in the form of a curve which is of no more than three fect radius. Between the rails is a large. skeleton screw-thread, or spiral arrange- meut constructed of heavy central steel tube with spokes carrying a flat steel bar forming the spiral, the whole rotating at a constant speed and driven by an elec tric motor with suitable grazing at ench end of the track, The driving screw comes to an end at the carves, but the carriages are conveyed round aud engage in the other spiral again by an Arm arrangement driven by a wort wheel geared to the driving shafts.

The carriages are roofed in but open at one side, each carrying eight people sented and four standing. running with rubber shod wheels on the broad rails, and under the frame they engage with the rotating crew or spiral by means of a special projecting arm carrying two- rollers. That is to say, as the long driv ing screw-thread revolves, in conjunction with the end driving mechanism, it con- !

a diferent. When, therefore, the car ringe enters a portion of the screw where the teeth or spirals are close together it travels very slowly, but when the screw widens out again-that is, when the pitch increases-the, carriage speed, up,

The arrangement is such that the car- ringe never stops travelling, since the Gerew is continuously revolving at eng speed, but by a suitable alteration in the pitch of the screw at intervals it slows down to 143 miles per hour when passing through stations, and hen char of these shoots up at once to about 24 miles per, hour. The passengers step in and out of the train without difficulty because of the slow speed, just as they do in the case of a moving staircase,

The system includes a large number of carriages on the track, rach driven. in dependently by the varying-pitch screw, and close together, so arranged that at apy given, tinie there is always a cor riage paesing through a station at slow- speed one behind the other, which on leaving the station shoot apart again but coinc together in the next station.

The capacities claimed for this system are extraordinary, and on the installi tion at Southend it is stated that 1.800 passengers per hour can be carried either ray. The running of the carriages is smooth and silent.

Many criticism, naturally suggest them- selves to engineers, particularly the wear and tear on the driving spiralg and the methods of stopping the entire series of carriages, but, whether the system will justify the hopes of the inventors or net, it is a highly ingenious and well- thought out method which will occupy the earnest attention of traffic engineers throughout the world.

The city of Paris, for example, is keenly interested, and the system is competing for one of the big prize offer- ed by the municipality for a successful method of relieving passenger " conges tion-Manchester Guardian,
