Abstract
A plurality of spaced drive means are disposed along a conveyance path for running a carriage along the conveyance path by a forward or reverse propelling force created by the drive means. A main power source and an auxiliary power source are provided for switching a power source from the main power source to the auxiliary power source when the former becomes faulty for running and stopping the carriage at a selected one of the drive means for the purposes of preventing the carriage from stopping at an intermediate point between adjacent drive means.
