Engine Order Telegraph Systems by Henschel

Pass the Word quickly, simply and directly. When a command is issued—and acknowledged — there's little chance of misunderstanding or error.

Engine Performance in terms of shaft speed is read at a glance — digitally.

And solid-state integrated circuitry provides identical information to any number of other stations on board.

A detailed digital printout is recorded by the new Henschel

Bell Logger. It automatically re- cords any change in speed demand together with engine response and logs it with the exact time. ensclicl JL lC>V^l LVwi CORPORATION a unit of General Signal Corporation 14 Cedar Street, Ames bury, Massachusetts 01913.
