Atlas manual turntables

Got the book so I thought about checking it out.

QUOTE: Do those arrows stand for terminal joiners?

Yes

QUOTE: wouldnt you need two pairs on the turnout line because you would need one for power to that line, and then one to give power to the turntable so you have power leading to the different tracks leading off the turntable.

The turnout line is NOT insulated from the main line, there are no insulating joiners, the turnout line thus has power running in it, the terminal joiners going from that line to the turntable is what powers it.

But basically, what the diagram shows is that you just have to wire your turntable with the approach track which is powered.

Hello,

I am intrested in getting a manual atlas turntable, and i need help from anyone who owns the complete atlas wiring book, now on page 51 it shows you how to wire up a manual drive turntable, it shows two arrows comming out of the dc slot on the power pack, then two more red arrows comming from the turnout, leading to the turntable. Do those arrows stand for terminal joiners? if so, wouldnt you need two pairs on the turnout line because you would need one for power to that line, and then one to give power to the turntable so you have power leading to the different tracks leading off the turntable. Is this correct what im saying? or am i wrong at all, i need advise, before i go and buy this thing![?][V]
