Concurrent with the completion of the Canadian National Railway's new station building at Hornepayne, Ont., a division point north of Lake Superior, 572.4 miles northwest of Toronto, the Canadian National Telegraphs has established a repeater station there. The equipment is the latest in use on high speed automatic circuits, consisting of separately mounted fireproof repeater units with the C. N. T. sliding base Wheatstone relay and other special features. Each repeater unit is equipped with a signaling device, operating on a 220 volt local, arranged so that the terminals can call in repeater attendants when required. These repeaters are in use on the Toronto—Winnipeg and the Montreal—Winnipeg multiplex circuits, also on the Toronto—Port Arthur Morse duplex. The combination switchboard and operating table, specially designed for the C. N. T., consists of the new type pin jacks and voltmeter, mounted on solid slate panels. A 3-bank chloride accumulator, consisting of 110 cells in each bank, serves as power supply. Geo. L. Thompson, formerly assistant plant chief, and Chas. C. Hamilton, formerly automatic supervisor at Toronto, are looking after the repeater and wire service at Hornepayne.—Canadian Railway and Marine World.
