AN ANONYMOUS INVENTOR At the Olympia Engineering Exhibition in London recently there was shown a most ingenious device in connection with the railway interlocking system, which, it was stated, would mean a big saving to railway companies and minimise the risk of accident. It was the invention of a 19-year-old girl, whose name was not disclosed, the only information supplied concerning her being that she was the daughter of a railway engineer. One day while she was in her father’s workshop he explained to her one of the problems of railway signalling, and later there occurred to her an idea by which it might be solved. With the help of a small model, made for her by her father, she persisted until she had finally conquered the problem.
