Introduction
Since 1917, Western-Cullen-Hayes has provided long-service-life gate arm operators and accessories for bridge and security gate applications. This experience, and that of being the major supplier of high-reliability railroad crossing gate mechanisms in North America, enables us to manufacture products that reflect the latest develop­ments in the application of materials and electro-mechanical design.
Familiarity with the market place has resulted in a bridge and security gate that reflects heavy-duty user needs.
General
Concepts utilized in the current products include modularity. Instead of being a single piece, the Model 9 Bridge and Security Gate is composed of a clamp-type junction box base, a mast, the gate arm mechanism and a gate arm with break-away feature. This design feature takes the work out of prior- to-installation, and installa­tion handling. It also can significantly reduce the cost of maintaining a gate operator that has been struck by a vehicle. Most times, only component replacement is required instead of replacing the entire unit.
Modularity is carried into the gate arm as well. While traditional wooden arms are available, most needs can be met with our widely used telescoping style fiberglass or aluminum/fiberglass arms. These arms have the added advantage of being retained in place by breakaway device. Upon impact, one or more shear pins break, allowing the arm to fall away before it is destroyed by the offending vehicle and limiting damage to the operating mechanism.
Our years of addressing a wide range of customer requirements has led to a marked flexibility in the configuration of the Model 9 Bridge and Security Gate. In addition to choice of arm types (including a special, hinge-tip wooden gate arm that folds up like ajack-knife to clear overhead obstructions), we offer a wide selection of gate arm lights, accessory traffic signals, warning bells and revolving beacons.

Gate Mechanism
The heart of the Model 9 Bridge and Security Gate is the Type 3594 Gate Mechanism. This rugged mechanism features:

• Heat treated segment gears
• Double bearing mechanism shaft
• Sealed, prelubricated ball bearings
• Immediately reversible operation
• Extra heavy-duty electrical contacts
• Rapid descending and clearing times
• Will operate gates to forty feet in length
• Can be hand cranked up or down in case of power failure

The shallow-well mechanism housing with a deep-well cover provides unobstructed access to all internal components.
Electrical Specifications

• Input power, 110-120 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 8.0 FLA
• Internal power, converted to 110 VDC
• Bridge rectifier, 0-800 VDC, 35 A

Pre-fabricated, galvanized steel foundations with mounting hardware are available, as are steel adapter plates for use with existing foundations. Please inquire.
Our standard Model 9 operator's station includes illuminated push­buttons for gate position indication. We will be happy to discuss system requirements for your specific application.

Model 370 Track Circuit Probe
The Western-Cullen-Hayes Model 370 Track Circuit Probe was developed to simplify the process of trouble shooting problems and faults associated with track circuits of all types. This unique device detects a coded DC or AC signal that is carried by the circuit under evaluation and converts the signal into an audible tone which can be heard in the headset component of the Probe.
The audible tone can be followed through the entire circuit, thereby enabling maintenance personnel to pinpoint opens, shorts, partial opens, leaks, etc.
Operated on 9VDC transistor radio battery.
A special Probe Tone Generator is available for use with non-coded DC track circuits. Accompanying operating procedures explain the many uses of the Model 370 Track Circuit Probe.

• Checking Hardwire Shunts
• Finding Shorts Across the Rails
• Fouling Circuit Checks
A bad hardwire shunt can be spotted immediately. If the shunt is bad the signal will continue through the rail, and not cross over at the shunt as it should.
A short across the track can be found easily by following the tone along the track until is stops. At this point, you will find the short, for the Track Circuit Probe will point directly to it. For instance, a non-insulated gauge rod can be spotted through the pavement with direct accuracy.
Fouling circuit connections and fouling circuit rails can now be positively checked for proper operation by shunting the fouling track and checking each connection and jumper.

The Western-Cullen-Hayes Model 379 Probe Tone Generator is a battery powered (6VDC, 80 rnA continuous duty, four "C" cells) unit used to generate an AC tone (650-800 Hz) into non-coded DC track circuits, for the purpose of using the Model 370 Track Circuit Probe to locate trouble spots.

Model HD-350 Bonding Drill
The Western-Cullen-Hayes Model HD-350 Bonding Drill is engineered to provide a safe, economical means for one man to accurately drill holes in either the head or web of the rail. Simple attachment and adjustment features permit efficient drilling of bond and channel pin holes in all types and weight of rail from 80 to 150 pounds, yet allow for instant removal of the drill when necessary.
Made of steel to withstand work abuse, the Mode1HD-350 Bonding Drill has established an enviable service record. It has won wide approval and acceptance as standard equipment by railroads throughout the world.

HD-350 Bonding Drill Features

Ordering Information
All standard rail head and web bonds and duplex channel pins are designed to interface with 3/8" diameter holes.
Unless you have a need to drill holes of 9/32" diameter, we recommend that you purchase a Bonding Drill designed to accommodate 3/8" diameter drill bits. If you do have a need to drill both hole sizes, we recommend that you buy the Model HD-350A Drill (9/32" Hyduty Chuck) and satisfy the need for 3/8" diameter holes with our special drill bits (PN: 1454, 1464).

General Description
This factory-tested, completely solid state, self-regulating relay costs no more than electro-mechanical units but is designed to give maximum performance under all operating conditions. It has no contacts to burn, and no moving parts to wear out.
Model 730 is compatible with all lighting circuits - AC, rectified AC or DC. Can flash tow lamp loads of 25 amperes each. Flash rate is adjustable from 45 to 65 flashes per minute. Can be synchronized with additional 730 Flashers to accommodate higher loads. It uses no power in the inactive state.

Installation
Model 730 EOR may be installed in any position (but perferably with the heat sink fins vertical) by using the four outboard holes in the baseplate. Flasher may be operated on AC, rectified AC, DC or combination AC/DC, circuited through a PTR or POR relay. Adjust flashing to desired rate with external potentiometer. Clockwise increases rate, counter-clockwise decreases rate.

Transformers manufactured by W-C-H are designed specifically for use in railroad signal circuits. Several types are made available to address common applications. These transformers are intended for use with 60Hz, single phase AC input current. When used with frequencies of 50Hz or 100Hz, the units will run 5 deg C -10 deg C hotter, but will suffer no reduction in available power.
Construction
Railroad signal engineers select equipment that meets exacting standards for performance, throughout rigorous environmental extremes. W-C-H Signal Transformers are designed to meet these standards and are field-proven over many years of service. High efficiency is ensured through the use of silicon steel laminations. Windings are made of Formvar or polyurethane insulated wire with fiber insulation between layers. After winding, the coils are heated to remove moisture, dipped in varnish and baked. Standard Terminals are used on all Transformers.

Series 50 Shelf- Type Relays For Railroad Signal Applications

Western-Cullen-Hayes makes vital shelf relays for many railroad signal applications. Calibration and test procedures conducted at the factory help to insure proper operation over a wide range of environmental conditions. Individual relays are detailed below.

Housing
The cover is transparent, cast, polycarbonate plastic. Frame and cover are sealed to one another by a pressure gasket. Binding posts are retained in cast-in grooves to prevent turning. All binding post and coil core ports are sealed to guard against the ingress of moisture and other contaminants. An identification plate is mounted to the cover of each relay and includes a contact diagram which will aid installation and testing of the relay.

Over-All Size
Maximum over-all size of the Series 50 Relays, including spring base, coils and appertances is 8-1/2" H x 4-1/4" W x 6-1/2" D.
