Westinghouse controller

Westinghouse controller
No.2 controller in the control cabin on top of the gondola of the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge. There are two of these in this cabin although only one is needed to drive the bridge. A third example is in the motor house so that the bridge can be driven from there in case of breakdown.

The bridge still uses DC power but it is likely to be converted to AC operation soon.
