Abstract: An electric power supplying system for a continuous transit system by magnet (CTM) in which magnets attached to under parts of a certain number of cars comprising the trains and energized regularly are attracted to magnetic belts of a plurality of magnetic belt conveyor units arranged at predetermined intervals along a running track thereby successively drawing and running the trains. There is provided a trolley wire which is divided at least into a certain number of insulated sections at intervals of a predetermined block section length and a predetermined no-load current is supplied to the insulated sections of the trolley wire. When the current flowing to each insulated section of the trolley wire is within a predetermined range, the magnetic belt conveyor unit group corresponding to a block section following the insulated section with respect to the direction of train movement is operated.

Abstract: The receiver of an audio frequency (AF) track circuit for a track section of an electric propulsion railroad is coupled across an associated impedance bond by the primary and secondary windings of a saturable transformer. The control winding of this transformer receives energy signals from a voltage comparator network which compares input signals from two pick up coils, one positioned in inductive relationship with each rail at the receiver end of the section. These coils are tuned to respond to a selected ripple characteristic of the rectified DC propulsion energy, e.g., the sixth harmonic of the basic AC power supply source.
