    Abstract: 820,919. Hot-axle detectors. SERVO CORPORATION OF AMERICA. Nov. 6, 1957 [Nov. 6, 1956; Aug. 6, 1957], No. 34657/57. Class 40 (3). A detector for the hot axle bearings of rail wagons comprises a heat-responsive control element, e.g. an infra-red detecting thermistor, mounted alongside the track, and an inclined optical system with its axis preferably at 20- 50 degrees to the horizontal and in a plane parallel to the rail track. There may be two such systems pointing in opposite directions with trip means operating shutters appropriate to the direction of movement of the wagons. There may be two heat detectors with separate optical systems, or a single detector with a mirror operated by the trip means, to incline in the receiving direction and reflecting the heat on to the detector. Alternatively, the shutters are controlled and held by the trip means. The journal box 18 is progressively scanned by the detector 10 as the rail car 19 moves along the track 13. The wheel trip 34 maybe a magnetic circuit closed by the wheel flange 25 and in a circuit containing a single-stability multivibrator or a time-delay grop-out relay giving a gate interval for the detector of about 50 milliseconds, sufficient even for slow trains of 5 m.p.h. A storage device in conjunction with the wheel trip operates the shutter of the detector for a sufficient period when the train is slow. Two wheel trips in series with a flip-flop circuit give a square gating pulse sufficient for full exposure of the hot box (Fig. 6, not shown). A single detector cell 14 (Fig. 8) serves duplicate optical systems 44, 44 , with shutters 51, 52 operated by solenoids 53, 54. The sequence in which the wheel trips 34, 56 are operated affects the directionally responsive switch 74 which determines the actuation of the solenoid and storage means 38, 38 , supplies a steady signal to relay means 76 to control the trip pulses, and turns on the recorder, alarm and telemetering devices 30, 31, 32.
