Manual | Science Museum Group Collection

Archive material relating to the Automatic Route Setting Machine, also known as “George”, comprising two boxes of archive material, four ring binders, two lever arch files and one bundle of A3 printed drawings. Items include manuals, drawings, a log book, the specification for the system, timetabling information, a signalling diagram and a small quantity of handwritten notes discussing simulations of the ARS prior to its installation. The manuals include the first line maintenance manual for the ARS which provides a detailed description of the system and how it works, as well as manuals for some of its components (including the RL02 disk drives) and the systems it interfaced with like the train describer system (TDS). The handwritten log book covers the period 15/03/1983 to 26/06/1984 and records problems encountered during the installation and early operation of the system, working visits and the moment when the ARS signalled its first train at 06:02 on 04/07/1983.
