Now to codes of a different type. As you know train equipment codes are shown on the cant rail inside cars. Now lets see how many of you can guess what some of the redundant ones no longer in use stood for?
Right let's put TOK out of his misery and fill him ijn with the meaning of those codes [in red]
'RCOS' = Regen cut-out switch
'MORS' = Metadyne overspeed reset switch
MCCOS' = Metadyne control cut-out switch
'BCCOS' = Battery Charging cut-out switch
'BCS' = Battery changeover switch
'BIS' = Battery isolating Switch
One I forgot but posted elsewhere is 'BLBS' Blackout lamp battery switch

RCOS - Reverser Cut-Out Switch (?)
MCCOS - Main Cylinder Cut-Out Switch (?)
BCCOS - Brake Cylinder Cut-Out Switch (?)
The first one could be used in that nasty situation when the reverser was wired up wrongly - just operate the RCOS on the relevant DM and then the ConCOS on the relevant DM. Then you would be able to go into reverse without having one car driving against the rest.
The next two, I'm much less sure about. A BCCOS might be used if the brake cylinder itself was punctured or leaking and causing a pressure drop.
It would probably be telling if you said which cars these codes could be found on...
