	Electric Traction
		In England a patent was granted in 1840 for the use of rails as conductors of electric current, and similar American patents were issued to Lilley and Colten in 1847.
		All that is needed to cause the car to move along the running rails is to supply current through an overhead wire or third "conductor rail." This wire or rail will serve as a "return" for the electric current to the dynamo in the power station.
		This conductor rail was set one inch below the level of the running rails, and wooden ramps were provided at points and crossings to carry the collectors over the rails, thus avoiding a short-circuit.

	3rd and 4th rail dimensions and settings
		As conductor rail wear takes place, the insulators are re-packed underneath, or packing is inserted between the underside of the rail and the cradle of the insulator, to maintain the conductor rail relationship with the running rails.
		The conductor rail is probably 106lb/yard section: the slight height difference between it and the cast ribbed ramps can be seen, being accommodated by the use of different types of insulator and packing thickness under the conductor rail itself.
		On the Southern, the overlap of the 3rd rail is typically 12 timber bays.
