MWH remarked about the dead man's pedals and the Alertors. Both were royal pains in the fundament. <br /> <br />But you could jimmy a dead man pedal, with a brake shoe, or by wedging a brake shoe key in above the pedal, or by using a flag stick to hold it down. <br /> <br />Alertors were a little harder . . . <br /> <br />But I wonder if someone has done a study about fatigue-caused situations that were prevented by those devices, against those that happened in spite of them being in service and activated. Of course, one can never find out about the former . . . <br /> <br />Old Timer
