Abstract: A combination of two trailing cable termination devices is provided for connection in parallel between the ground-check and ground conductors of the two arms of a Y-configured trailing cable supplying power to two loads, the combined output electrical characteristic of the parallel termination devices satisfying the requirements of a ground-check monitor located at the source of the power and the individual output electrical characteristics of the devices each failing to satisfy those requirements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for marking a line, such as the centerline, along a roadway, using a vehicle carrying paint marking apparatus, in which a pair of television cameras, one mounted on each side of the vehicle, view the edges of the roadway and project the images onto a split screen. By keeping the images on the screen in a predetermined relationship the operator can steer the vehicle in a path along the roadway uniformly spaced from its edges. Preferably a third camera, centrally located on the vehicle, views the vanishing point of the roadway when straight and the image of the vanishing point is registered with a predetermined mark associated with the screen.

Abstract: The monitor is used with seeder equipment having one or more seeder hopper sections wherein each hopper section has a number of metering assemblies for feeding the seed from each hopper section to the soil. The monitoring apparatus includes at least one sensor consisting of a piezoelectric transducer which provides an output signal in response to being struck by a seed, a vibration isolating mounting structure to position the sensor in the seed flow path between the metering assembly and the soil, and a circuit for receiving the sensor electronic response and providing an indication of seed flow condition. The mounting structure includes an elongated member such as a metal tubing, to one end of which is fixed a cushion made of a material such as a closed cell foam and to the other end of which is fixed a securing member to secure the structure to the seeder.
