It has been agreed that certain types of radio-active materials, as described below, may be conveyed by passenger or
parcels tr ain i n accordance w i th the following conditions:—
Descr iption.

Black on white background w i th the wording "Radio-active Material (Type 1)".
Conditions o f Carriage.
No special precautions necessary
TYPE 2.
Labelling.
Red on w hi te background w i th the words "Caution—Radio-active Material (Type 2). Undeveloped photographic
material must not be placed nearer than 4 feet to this container".
Conditions o f Carriage.
Packages t o be segregated at least 4 feet not only from undeveloped films, but also fr om articles of luggage, Post
Office bags, and other packages, the contents of which are unknown, in trains and on station premises, no consignment
by one train to exceed six packages. Particular care must be taken to ensure that this traffic is not placed within 4 feet
of an adjacent passenger compartment. I n the majority of instances the most suitable arrangement will be to load the
packages in a corner of the train van at the buffer end, where possible, a chalk line being drawn on the floor indicating
the required 4 feet segregation.
Staff at intermediate stations loading traffic i nto trains conveying these packages m ust ensure that the r equir ed
4 feet segregation is maintained and Guards should satisfy themselves that this is done.
It will also be the responsibility of Guards w ho are relieved en r oute to advise the Guard wor king forward of the
presence of these consignments.
Security.
All consignments of Type 2 radio-active material m ust be conveyed i n the van i n which the Guard is riding. A t
stations the traffic m ust be k ept i n a safe place and arrangements made t o ensure that the necessary segregation is
maintained.
Notice of Despatch.
Advance information w i th regard t o all consignments of Type 2 radio-active materials to be despatched by rail will
be advised by the Commercial Department to the Operating Department, and the Operating Department will arrange
for the despatching and intermediate transfer points to be advised of the details so that the necessary arrangements for
loading and transfer can take place under the prescribed conditions.
Advice and Signatures.
The actual despatch of each Type 2 consignment must be advised by the sending station to destination station and
all intermediate transfer points of the trains concerned. Packages will be sealed and signed for from hand t o hand.
Condition o f Vehicles.
Owing t o the possibility of dust on the floors of vehicles becoming slightly activated, the vehicle floors should be
swept before radio-active traffic is loaded.

Returned Empt ies.
Returned empties will be treated as conveying radio-active material unless an assurance has been obtained by the
Commercial Department that the empty packages will not emit any radio-activity.
Goods T rain Conveyance.
At the present time radio-active material (Type 2) cannot be accepted for conveyance by goods train.
General N o t e.
It is understood that at certain stations where Railway staff are required t o handle packages containing radio-active
substances some anxiety has been felt that these duties might have undesirable effects upon the health of the staff. Ther e
may also be some concern by guards travelling with such packages.
In drawing up regulations for the transport of radio-active substances by rail the Railway Executive had the advice
of its Research Department and of independent scientific experts. T he regulations are stringent and the staff can have
full confidence that the method of packing and transporting these materials is such that full pr otection is provided: no
member of the Railway staff should suffer any harmful effects as a result of carrying out his normal duties in the presence
of these consignments.

The attention of the staff is drawn to the following instructions, which must be carefully noted by all concerned:—
T r ans i t
Every care must be exercised i n loading and unloading baskets on and off platform trucks or i nto and out of vans,
and other packages are not to be placed on top; the baskets m ust not be thr ow n down as this may injure the birds by
concussion. Barrows which cause the baskets to be tilted must not be used.
Birds must be despatched by the trains specified on the labels; i f no tr ain is shown, by the first available service.
To facilitate transit, they are to be forwarded, whenever possible, by thr ough trains.
IN THE EVENT OF BASKETS OR PIGEONS EN ROUTE T O RACE POINTS H AVIN G T O BE DETAINED AT
FORWARDING AN D /OR TRANSFER STATIONS AW AITIN G DESPATCH, THE BASKETS MUST BE PLACED WHERE
THEY W ILL BE UNDER OBSERVATION OF THE STAFF.
Should birds be overcarried they must, in all cases, be promptly returned t o the pr oper station for liberation, and
the circumstances reported.
If i t is found necessary to detain birds overnight, they must be stored out of reach of cats, rats, etc.
Care is to be taken to water birds which may have been delayed, or have to be detained owing to unfavourable
weather. W hen detention is prolonged, food must be given; one, or at the most, tw o handfuls of corn per basket will
suffice. Ther e must be an interval between feeding and liberation, as i t is undesirable to release birds with food in their
crops.
Where birds are despatched for shor t flights i t is not necessary to feed or water them, unless they have suffered
delay or have had to be held over owing to bad weather.
Liberation.
It is important that labels, etc., be examined very carefully before birds are released to see that senders' instructions
are complied with, and t he name of the station at which t he birds are liberated must be stamped, o r writ t en
on t he address label, and t he t ime, dat e, st at e of weat her and init ials of persons liberat ing inserted.
It must also be observed from what station the baskets have been forwarded and i f any delay has occurred en r oute,
this is to be reported.
Pigeons cannot "hom e" in the dark, and must not, therefore, be liberated at a time when i t would be impossible for
them to reach thei r lofts during daylight the same day.
Where practicable, Station Masters are to select one or more members of the staff to attend regularly to the liberation
of birds. A site adjacent to the Station, clear of buildings, telegraph wires, moving or standing vehicles, must
be selected and all t h e birds released f rom t his spot. T h ey must not be released at t he edge of covered
platforms or allowed to fly into t he narrow space between t he verandahs. F ailu re to act in accordance wit h
these instructions may result in valuable birds being maimed o r killed. B ird s going in opposite directions
must not be liberat ed within several minutes of each other, as large numbers are diverted from t heir course
by this practice, and in t he case of young untrained birds many are lost through clashing wit h birds flying
on a different course.
If weather is unfavourable for flying, birds are not to be liberated, but held until the following morning i f necessary,
and an advice sent by telephone, or telegraph, to the sending stations, w ho must in tur n advise senders.
Cases have been r epor ted wher e birds have been liberated at stations other than those indicated on the address
labels, and of baskets addressed to private liberators being liberated by railway staff. C ar e is to be exercised to see that
such mistakes do not occur.
Empty Baskets.
After liberation of the birds, empty baskets must be cleared of litter and r etur ned w i thout delay t o home stations,
where the staff must place them i n safe custody, and examine the labels to see that no baskets belonging to any other
station a re k e p t o n hand. E m p t y baskets rec ei v ed w i t h o u t address labels m u s t b e i mmedi atel y re p o rt e d t o t h e L o s t
P roperty Departm ent, des c ri pti on and size, also date and t ra i n rec eiv ed bei ng given i n all cases. Los s o r delay t o empty
baskets not only gives rise t o claims but seriously inconveniences the owners, w ho are not able to utilize the baskets
fully for training purposes, and involves the railway in loss of revenue.
Empty baskets. must not be thr ow n out.
Accompanied ( by Convoyers).
As a general rule, Homing pigeons conveyed for liberation at stations in connection w i th races promoted by Clubs,
Federations and Combines are in charge of convoyers. These men are supplied w i th permits authorising them to travel
in the vans in or der that they may assume full responsibility for seeing that the birds are not interfered w i th in any way,
to attend to the feeding and watering, and finally t o release the birds at the destination station.
Railway staff must render every assistance to the convoyers, including the unloading of the baskets from the vans
at the points from which liberation takes place.

Claims continue to arise in respect of damage by grease t o passengers' clothing as a result of the absence of windscreens in gangways, and the attention of all concerned is again directed to the need for seeing that the protective windscreens provided in gangway stock are made use of to exclude draughts, and to ensure that passengers passing from one
coach to another do not come i nto contact with the gangway plates.
It is the duty of the shunting staff to see that these windscreens are placed in position when gangway stock is coupled
up, and that the windscreens are unfastened before gangwayed vehicles are uncoupled.
Guards wor king gangwayed trains must satisfy themselves that windscreens ar e i n the correct position and must
fasten any which may be found not properly coupled up.
The new B.R. standard type of windscreen is permanently fixed to its vehicles and is connected, by means of a hook
which fastens i nto a staple provided on the body end of the adjacent vehicle.
Before vehicles are separated i n the course of shunting movements, the windscreen should be removed fr om the
adjacent vehicle by unhooking from the staple. I t should then be folded and hooked back out of the way so that the
facing surface does not become di r ty and greasy by contact with the vestibule face plates of an uncoupled vehicle.
The windscreen equipment is provided with safety release sockets to guard against damage in the event of a vehicle
being inadvertently uncoupled w i thout first unhooking and folding back the windscreen. This, however, is only a safety
device and must not be used as a general means of disconnecting the windscreens during shunting operations. N o t only
is this practice likely to lead to damage to the windscreens, but leaves portions of them on both of the vehicles concerned.
The equipment left on the respective vehicles is incomplete unless the tw o vehicles are again br ought together, and i t is
essential, therefore, when the safety device is used inadvertently that the hook por tion should be immediately removed,
reconnected by the release sockets to the main section of the windscreen, and folded and fastened back as previously
mentioned.
If in the case of regular train sets difficulty is experienced in connecting this type of windscreen owing to the absence
of staples in non-B.R. standard vehicles, the assistance of the local C. & W . staff should be obtained w i th a view to the
provision of the necessary staples on the non-standard vehicles concerned.

Despite the attention already drawn to the correct method of handling and loading of Motor Cycles, strong complaints
continue to be received from senders regarding damage due to mishandling.
It is essential that the detailed instructions set out below are strictly observed:—
(a) I n loading, the fr ont wheel must be placed on the van floor, one loader to hold handlebars and another to lift
rear wheel i nto van.
(b) Motor-cycles must be loaded across train vans and not end-on w i th the running direction of the trains.
(c) W h e n more than one machine is placed i n a van, they must be loaded fr ont to rear alternatively.
(d) T he machines must NOT be placed on their stands when loaded i n the train vans, as the oscillation is likely to
cause them to fall.
(e) W h e n unloading, the rear wheel must be lowered on t o the platform by one loader, another loader holding
the handlebars and lowering the fr ont wheel.
(f) MOTOR-CYCLES UNLOADED FROM TRAIN VANS ON TO PLATFORMS MUST NOT BE PLACED AGAINST
WALLS OR STANCHIONS BUT BE PLACED IN THE PARKING POSITION ON THEIR STANDS.
M OT OR SC OOT ER S.
Motor Scooters are being damaged i n transit and when these are loaded i nto rail vehicles they should be placed on
their stands and not loaded one against the other or against other articles. I f this m ethod of loading were adopted a
large pr opor tion of the damage would be avoided.
The handling and loading of this traffic should be given special attention by the supervisory staff. ( P . 3/3132)

The Commission has recently had t o settle some very heavy claims for loss resulting from wagons which for some
reason have lost their traffic labels, and have also been found to be in need of such repair that they have been labelled
by the C. & W . staff to "Shops". Thi s often involves the wagons being placed away amongst cripples and waiting some
considerable tim e before they are attended to. W hen opened i n the Shops the wagons have been found to be loaded;
in the case of one container this was found to contain meat which had become a total loss.
It is, therefore, m ost im por tant that all wagons or containers should be examined t o make certain that they are
empty befor e being put away amongst cripples. Van doors should be opened owing to the unreliability of testing by a

The code provides an easy reference to the various types of diesel locomotive in connection w i th the extraction o f
statistical information and for maintenance requirements; i t facilitates comparisons of the performance of the differ ent
types of locomotives within a particular horse power group.
The code will be used in diesel locomotive diagrams and in load book and r oute availability pamphlet. T h e makers,
horse power, serial numbers and code are shown in detail on the attached.
The following information will be shown on the outside of the driving cabs of Main Line Diesel Locomotives:—

INSERT:—Instructions N os. 67-70—General Regulations f or working t h e Westinghouse Aut omat ic B rake
on Elect ric Trains.
67. ( a) Compressed air is the power employed to wor k the brake, which is automatic; that is, i t applies itself in the
case of a break-loose or failure of any vital part.
(b) T h e pressure in the main reservoir must be kept to 90 lb. per square inch, and in the train pipe t o a pressure
of 70 lb. per square inch. Eac h m otor and driving trailer car is provided with a gauge having a red and a black
hand. The red hand shows the pressure in the main reservoir, and the black hand the pressure in the train pipe.
(c) A "Dead Man's" handle valve is fitted to operate in the driving handle of the master controller, so that, should
the Driver release his grip, the brakes will be applied and the control cur r ent cut off.
(d) D ef ect ive "Dead Man's ' handle or emergency valve:—
Should the "Dead Man's" handle or emergency valve become inoperative, the Guard must ride with the Driver
until another man can be provided for the purpose or have the defect remedied. T he defect must be reported
to the Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Department at once.
Isol ati on of em er gency val ve w hen coasting.—The "Dead Man's" handle which is fitted t o the Contr oller and
which provides for automatic action of the brakes in cases of emergency must always be kept operative when the train
is in motion.
Under no circumstances must the reverser key be placed i n the " Off" position when the train is coasting.
68 (a). Drivers must satisfy themselves that the Westinghouse air brake is in pr oper working or der before starting,
and at each station where any vehicle is attached or detached. I t must also be tested before descending steep inclines,
in or der that the speed of the train may be reduced as necessary. T he Driver of a train running direct or backing i nto a
platform w i th buffer stops at the end, or to a platform where another train is standing, must do so cautiously and, at a
proper distance from the place where the train has to come to a stand, must test the Westinghouse brake and then r un
forward at such a speed as to enable him to stop the train at the proper place.
(b) Unless the Westinghouse brake is working properly when thus tried, the Driver must whistle for the Guard's
attention, stop the train and inform the Guard that the Westinghouse brake is out of order and that the hand br ake
must be relied upon for working the train. T he train must then be worked forward at reduced speed under the contr ol
of the hand brakes and special care must be taken in approaching stations at which the train has to stop.
(c) Should the Driver discover any defect in the working of the brake which would render i t ineffective, he must,
as soon as possible, give the Guard notice, and arrange with him as to the use of the hand brake if necessary.
(d) The brake must be applied w i th great care, so as to bring the train to a stand w i thout rebounding or other wise
causing inconvenience to the passengers. F or ordinary stops the valve should be opened, and again closed gentl y when
the pressure has been reduced by about 5 to 8 lb.

(e) The Driver on finding that the brake has been applied by the Guard, or automatically, must at once assist i n
stopping the train by an ordinary brake application.
(f) Should a Driver find that his train is being retarded by the brake blocks not being off, he must stop, under fixed
signal protection i f practicable, and properly release the brakes.
(g) W hen changing ends the Driver must close the brake valve isolating cock and then make an emergency application
of the brakes when the train is at rest, before putting his brake handle to the release position.
(h) The Driver must ascertain that the brake hose couplings are connected and the cocks i n the brake pipes are in
the correct position thr oughout the tr ai n:- (i) Before leaving the stabling point.
(ii) W hen another set of coaches has been detached or attached.
(i) D r i ver s will be responsible for working the hand brakes in their compartments.
69 (a). W h e n a train has been standing at a terminal station more than 10 minutes the Guard must see that the
proper train pipe pressure is registered on the gauge in the Guard's compartment before giving the signal to start.
(b) Before leaving a stabling poi nt or when a vehicle or vehicles are attached a test must be made by operating the
brake valve in the rear vehicle on the train and reducing the pressure in the gauge by 20 lb., w hi ch will apply the brakes.
The pressure in the gauge will, on closing the brake valve isolating cock, begin to rise, and the signal to start must not
be given until the gauge shows 65 lb.
The Guard must enter the rear driving cab for the purpose of making the test, which must be made after the Driver
has completed his preparation of the train and whilst the Driver is in the leading driving cab with the brake valve isolating
cock open in that cab.
(c) I f the Guard, upon making the test, finds that the pressure does not rise, the brake connection is inter r upted,
and he must not permit the train t o be started until a search has been made to find the cause of the inter r uption.
(d) W hen a Guard has'occasion to apply the brake he must open the cock and allow the air to escape until the train
is br ought to a standstill, but he should only use the brake in case of emergency.
If a train fails to stop at a station at which i t is booked to call or runs in any way irregularly, the Guard must at once
take steps t o bring the tr ain t o a stand and ascertain i f all is well w i th the Dr iver in charge. I n these circumstances,
unless the Guard has reason t o consider an emergency application of the brake is necessary, he must apply the air brake
by partially opening the emergency valve i n the Guard's compartment unti l the pressure has been reduced by about
5 to 8 lb. o r until speed is so reduced that he is satisfied the Driver has become aware that the train is required to stop.
(e) I n the case of a train becoming divided, the Guard must put the hand brake hard on before going back to pr otect
his train.
70 (a). T h e Driver and Guard m ust r epor t any defect or irregularity at the next stopping place and the station
staff must immediately advise the Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Department.
(b) The brake on each vehicle can be released by opening the release valve on the pipes leading to the brake cylinders.
This is done by means of the release cord or wire which is to be found under the body of the vehicles, about the centre
of the frame. T he valves close themselves by the cord or wire being allowed to go free.
(c) N o unauthorised person must interfere with any of the cocks or valves on the train.
