/ AUTOMATIC GATE _ AT 2ND CROSSING IN LIBERTYVILLE VOLUME XXXVI--NUMBER 81. > Standard Automatic Gate Crossing Protection Will be Erected at Garfield Ave. gate at the Gartield Avenue crose-- ing in Libertyville. A similar gate bas been in operation for several months at the crossing nest west in Libertyrille and it has worked to perfection according to {he North d.MthWAMBb mal Corporation of Chicago, auto zuammmm'hfl train is 2200 feet ~away. A switch, or cog, struck by the ap mmmm.m: gates cauges them t lower. Atfl:&'utw light flashes on the gate as it low-- ors and a bell rings. * * lin PA One objection to automatic gates in the past has been that the gate might possibly come down on an a8-- tomobile Just as it hits the point where the gate was descending. 'This situation has been taken care of by the company in that there is not much weight on the gate as it gates cost about $7500.00 to install but it is figured that the automatic plan pays for itselt in a few yeats. Where gates are operated annually %4 hours. a day it represents a cost af ahonut £2200 a vear fjust for the lowers. 1t is so balanced that one dthhmmlrkofl eral times and allowed it to drop on Another objection in the past to antomatic gates has been that the gates might lower just as a car was wwaonm & it c through the gate. This point has been taken care of by the balancing of the gate in such a way that in case an automobile struck it the gate would swing aside gently and other than scratching the car a trifle would not harm it. Possible-- trouble from the power going off is obviated by the instal Iation of a battery which takes eare of the bell and fNasher--light in ease the regular power is off, At such a time the gate would not low-- er but the bell and flasher -- light would be working just the same as a result of the presence of the bat-- tery. 'The second.exrpertment at Gartield avenue was authorized by the commission to run over a pPer-- lod of three months. Wanted Two Others North Shore officials are much satisfied with the 'unbroken oper@ tion of the gate which has operated huwtyvm-huvml-mth and that is why they asked for a further experiment at an additional ecrossing.
