Description: |
This patent was incorporated into Streetcar motor controllers.
Abstract:

Claim:
The combination in an electric controller, of a switch having a multiplicity of contacts, and a blowout magnet having a common pole piece extending from a common core to points adjacent to the several circuit-breaking points of the switch. |
