TS Transmission Mechanism (TM) - Braking System (BS)

The trolley braking system (BS) is described by a sequence of actions and states.

State 4: Trolley coming to rest with load at Bay 2, braking system.

Action:

• The trolley reaches a mechanical stop at Bay 2 and comes to rest; then, the dish and plate are manually fixed in place with pins, as follows:
• Fix dish in position with the two dish pins at the right and left of the dish
• The pins are operated manually in sequence
• This is done as the trolley arrives at Bay 2
• In a similar manner, fix the plate in position with the two plate pins at the right and left of the plate
• The pins are operated manually in sequence

Note: The same method of braking applies when the trolley arrives back at Bay 1. A description of the braking system at Bay 1 will be provided at a later date.
