Assures Doors Being Closed.

A certain number of cars on the Gerat Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton tube, says the Electrician, have been fitted with a center door opening inward. These , doors are completely under the control of the conductor from his platform, and can be either bolted or unbolted by merely pressing a small lever. Each doorway is connected with electric lightß on the conductor’s platform and in the driver’s cab, which light or go out, according as the doors are bolted or unbolted. No train is, therefore, started until the light by the driver’s side assures him / that all the doors are closed.
