Control and Organisation.

The organization of the Branch consists of a Head Office where the various schemes are prepared and details of work are designed, the clerical division (under the Chief Clerk) being responsible for the accounts and correspondence. Supervision of construction and maintenance is carried out by the engineers, technical assistants and chief inspectors, and frequent inspections of apparatus are made in order to ensure that the requisite standard of maintenance is observed. In the Districts different railway sections are under the control of Signal and Electric Lines Inspectors. Under these Inspectors are the electricians, automatic signal maintainers, signal adjusters and linemen who carry out the detailed work of keeping the apparatus in working order, and attending to faults.
