LE RETORNO DEL (SUPER)TRAM, PARTE 4:
Attention! Nulle guidator:
Systemas de "transito rapide legier" alias "supertram"
se differentia in duo typos distincte. In le prime,
ben que le tramvia percurre un ferrovia a parte,
il ha tractos ubi su banda reservate es accessibile
al publico, specificamente ubi un strata crucia
le linea o ubi le trams viagia--como
traditionalmente--in le strata.
Ma si le linea es completemente segregate on ha
le option de supprimer le guidatores. In le sala
de controlo, un grande computator survelia tote
le systema. Illo es informate continuemente del
position de omne vehiculo e de su velocitate. Illo
ha in su memoria le horario de operation e pote
commandar le vehiculo accelerar si illo es in retardo.
Naturalmente, illo manovra le cambios, illo sape
le velocitate maximal pro omne parte del linea,
le parametros ideal de acceleration e lentamento
quando un vehiculo approcha un station o parti.
Illo opera le indicatores in omne stationes que
informa le passageros quante minutas illes debe
attender ante le proxime tram (o traino, secundo
le terminologia usate pro le linea) e su loco de
destination.
Illo opera le indicatores de destination sur cata
vehiculo. Illo opera le cameras de video in omne
station que monstra sur le schermos in le sala del
controlo quando le numero de passageros indica le
necessitate de poner in operation un traino
additional. Le homines sedite ante le schermos
pote anque parlar per altoparlator al occupantes
del vehiculo si isto es necessari, o informar le
policia si il ha turbationes.
Si vos es in Anglaterra e vole haber le experientia
de viagiar sin guidator, va a Stratford (in London)
per le Linea Central, e prende un billet pro attinger
Island Gardens per le Docklands Light Railway.
Le trainos, que es pingite attractivemente in blau
con portas rubie, era construite in Germania per
le firma Linke Hoffmann Busch. Illos es articulate
e ha un langor de 28 metros. Ben que on los nomina
"trains", illos es exemplos typic de trams e pote
percurrer curvas de radio 40 metros, troppo curvate
pro un traino ordinari.
Sur le vehiculo vos trovara un homine in uniforme
blau, le "Train Captain". Ille va controlar vostre
billet, ma ille non guida excepte in caso de
emergentia.
Al terminus, si vos vole comparar le technologia
moderne a le del passato, usa le tunnel de pedones
sub le Thames pro vider a Greenwich le clipper
(veliero
rapide) "Cutty Sark".
[Nota, le "clipper ship" es un veliero designate
per americanos que es le plus rapide e efficiente
de omne velieros designate usque nunc. Verso le
fin del seculo XIX, illos non poteva competer contra
naves a vapor e esseva abandonate. --hk]

Look, Ma, No Driver!
"Light-rail transit systems," otherwise known as
"supertrams" can be divided into two different types.
In the first, though the tram travels on an isolated
track, there are places where the track has contact
with the public, especially where a street crosses
the line and where the trams travel, as is the
traditional case, in a street.
But if the line is completely separated, an available
option is to eliminate the motorman. In the central
control room, a large computer monitors the entire
system. It is continually informed of the speed
and position of each vehicle. It has in its memory
the schedule for the entire system and can order
a train to accelerate if it is late.
Naturally, it controls track switches. It knows
the maximum safe speed for all parts of the line,
and the ideal rates of acceleration and decelaration
when a train approaches a station or leaves it.
It operates displays in all stations that tell
passengers how many minutes they must wait for the
tram (or train, according to the terminology used
for the line) and its place of destination.
It operates the station signs in each vehicle.
It operates the video cameras in each station showing
on screens in the control room when the number of
passengers indicates a need to put into operation
another train. People seated in front of the screens
can also speak through a loud speaker to the occupants
of a train if this is needed or call the police
in case of disturbances.
If you are in England and want to have the experience
of traveling without a motorman, go to Stratford
(in London) using the Central Line and get yourself
a ticket to go to Island Gardens using the Docklands
Light Railway.
The trains, which are attractively painted in blue
with red doors, were built in Germany by the firm
Linke Hoffmann Busch. They are articulated and
are thirty yards long. Though they are called
"trains," they are typical examples of trams and
can negotiate curves with a radius of forty-four
yards--much too sharp for ordinary trains.
On the vehicle you will find a man in a blue uniform,
the "Train Captain." He will take your ticket,
but he will not drive the train except in cases
of emergency.
At the terminus, if you want to compare modern with
older technology, use the pedestrian tunnel under
the Thames to see at Greenwich the clipper ship
"Cutty Sark."
[Note, the "clipper ship" is an American-designed
sailing vessel that is the most rapid and efficient
of all sailing ships designed up to now. Toward
the end of the nineteenth century, they could not
compete against steamships and were abandoned. --hk]

Como promover usar le Rete e su ressources
bibliographic public pro incoragiar le uso expandite
de interlingua:
Le dialogos e exercitios de mi curso de conversation
<http://conversationininterlingua.blogspot.com> es un
ressource bibliographic public como "Interlingua
in interlingua" <http://www.geocities.com/hkyson>
e le textos in interlingua de Wikipedia.
Imitante le philosophia de Wikipedia sur le uso
de ressources bibliographic public, vos pote rediger
iste textos como vos vole, forsan combinante los
con altere simile ressources, pro publication
ubicunque in le Rete.
Un maniera excellente de apprender interlingua
vermente ben es compilar vostre proprie anthologia ex
su ressources public, scriber vostre proprie
presentation del grammatica de interlingua, e publicar
vostre effortios in le Rete pro le uso de alteres.

Si vos es un studente del anglese, io spera que
le textos in interlingua e anglese que io presenta
in iste sito vos adjuvara in vostre studios. Vos
anque pote adjuvar studentes de vostre lingua native
si vos presenta simile textos bilingue in iste sito.
Vos anque pote imprimer textos in un tertie lingua,
preparar un version de illos in interlingua, e
finalmente preparar un version de illos in vostre
lingua native.
Tal presentationes demonstra fortemente le avantages
de interlingua como lingua ponte e presentara
ressources multo utile pro studentes del prime lingua
de tal textos trilingue e de vostre lingua native.

Ecce duo sitos importante pro studentes de linguas e
del linguistica:
CENTER FOR APPLIED LINGUISTICS, un organisation cuje
preoccupation principal es trovar lo que es utile pro
le instruction de linguas nove in le linguistica
theoretic e incoragiar le uso de iste information pro
formar manieras plus efficicace de inseniar linguas.
Le sede electronic de iste organisation es
<http://www.cal.org>.
LINGUISTIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA, le organisation
professional pro linguistas academic american. Lor
