¨¨:-;%$¶@# a  type  of transformer  (an  electrical #@¶$%;-:¨¨

¨¨:-;%$¶@# a  sucking transformer is surrounded  by #@¶$%;-:¨¨
¨:-;%$¶@## two  signs,  both   around  twenty  four ##@¶$%;-:¨
¨¨:-;%$¶@# meters to each  side of  it.  tranins do #@¶$%;-:¨¨
¨:-;%$¶@## not  stop between these signs during any ##@¶$%;-:¨
¨¨:-;%$¶@# circumstances   -   if   the  choice  is #@¶$%;-:¨¨
¨:-;%$¶@## between halting within,  or running into ##@¶$%;-:¨
