(c) All future insrallations of "coupled in motion" scales on the Southern Pacific property lie ,,:;si;;ned to Signal Forces represented by the Brotherhood of Railroad Signairlen. (Carriscr's File: SIG 152-213)

 OPINION OF BOARD: The question raised in this dispute is whether the Signal
 men should have been assigned the work on the "coupled-in
 motion track scale" installed by the Carrier at Berg. The basic question for
 this Board is whether the scale at Berg is part of the CTC system. The Organ
 ization contends that because the scale is tied into and operated through and
 is a part of the CTC system it is the work of Si.,nalmen. The Carrier contends
 that the scale is an inclepeicclent electronic device and is not part of the CTC
 system.
