      <title>CONSTRUCTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR IMPROVING THE RIDING STABILITY AND THE GUIDING QUALITY OF ELECTRIC AND DIESEL ENGINED LOCOMOTIVES AND VEHICLES. REPORT ON TESTS MADE ON THE LOCOMOTIVE 1141.04 OF THE AUSTRIAN FEDERAL RAILWAYS (OBB)</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/15309</link>
      <description><![CDATA[At the time that the Specialists Committee B 10 started its work and drew up its Work Programe, the Austrial Federal Railways were preparing tests on their locomotive Testing Department of the DB.  At the request of ORE the test programme was expanded in such a manner that two parameters, appearing on the test-programme of the committee, could be examined, namely the lateral flexibility of the bogie and the application of a transverse coupling between the bogies. Similar tests were carried out by the Societe Nationale des Chemins de fer francais on the same type of locomotive (SNCF BB 9002), but within a different speed range.  Measurements were made of the transverse forces between axles and axle bearing and the relative movements of the constructional parts of the locomotive.  It appeared from the tests, that none of the variations of parameters tested was superior with regard to the lateral forces between axle and axle bearing.  This result is so surprising that no general conclusions should be drawn without further tests.  Tests on a third locomotive of the same type are being planned.  In order to examine the influence of the transverse coupling on the wear of wheel flanges, tests are being carried out on six locomotives, three of which are equipped with a transverse coupling, the other three being without one.  The results of these measurements will be published as soon as they come to hand.]]></description>

      <title>HIGH ADHESION TRUCK FOR ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/83860</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The use of high adhesion principles has enabled the South African Railways to achieve maximum performance from its latest d-c electric locomotives.  Their improved performance has been due to a combination of advances in electrical technology and the development of high adhesion trucks. This paper describes the improved features with particular emphasis on the trucks.  The design principles required for high adhesion, the theoretical improvement to be expected, and the actual performance results obtained on the Railways are presented.]]></description>

      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/76055</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This book deals with the design features of the 11D45 (11D45A) Diesel and its component units.  The authors study the electrical machinery, describe the personnel functions, and supply information on the care of the Diesel.  Also described are the care, operation and repair of the principal components, and the adjustment and regulation of the electrical equipment, and the care of the trucks.  The chapters contained in this book are as follows: I. Make-up and basic parameters of the locomotive; II. Description and features of Diesel design; III. Basic units of the Diesel; IV. Servicing of the Diesel; V. Systems of the Diesel; VI. The cooling system; VII. Drives of the auxiliary systems; VIII. The electrical system; IX. Electrical machines; X. Electrical apparatus; XI.  Tuning and rheostatic tests of electrical equipment; XII. Car bodies; XIII.  Locomotive trucks; XIV. Brakes; and XV. Air-piping systems.]]></description>

      <title>THE STRESSES OF A LOCOMOTIVE TRUCK FRAME AND OF THEIR FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/67602</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article describes the results of resistance tests carried out on locomotive truck frames, and the fundamental laws on frame stresses.  It also gives an assessment of stress dispersal during locomotive running, and the dispersal effect of the stresses on the value of the safety coefficients of the structures.]]></description>
