STANDARDISATION OF DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES. ORE REGULATIONS FOR THE TESTING ON THE TEST-BENCH OF DIESEL TRACTION ENGINES LIABLE TO BE FITTED TO RAILWAY VEHICLES (100 HOUR TYPE-TEST AND 360 HOUR TEST)

This document describes in detail the special tests of a new procedure for the testing of diesel traction engines on the test-bench. This test-procedure is primarily intended for the testing of new engines under international control by ORE, whereby a Railway Administration is not placed under any obligation to buy. The technical conditions of the procedure accurately simulate the requirements laid-down for diesel engines during the service tests and, consequently, permit the lengthy delays connected with such service-tests to be appreciably reduced. In order to alleviate the task of supervision, use is made of automatic control devices and recording instruments.
