From time to time many clever devices have been installed at railway stations to furnish train departure indications, but few of these arrangements have been so ingenious as the new train time indicator just installed at Charing Cross Station, London, by the Southern Railway. Built on the lines of a reading desk, the indicator, which stands in the centre of the concourse, is a handsome four-sided structure of wood. The upper part of each side slopes slightly inwards, forming a convenient base for the “pages,” which take the form of aluminium leaves, with specially-printed time-table sheets pasted on. An ingenious arrangement of hinges enables the leaves to be turned with the greatest ease and keeps them in their proper position. Each page has the hours of the day marked upon it, and of the four sides of the indicator, two are devoted to “Mondays to Fridays,” one to “Saturdays,” and one to “Sundays.” Each side is numbered and bears a reference to the other sides.
