TREADLE RAIL CONTACTS -- A COMPARISON OF SYSTEMS

SCHIENENKONTAKTE -- EIN SYSTEMVERGLEICH

Despite the many possiblities for treadle construction, only a few have actually proved suitable in practice. A description is given of the different treadle construction principles. Comparison of these methods shows why only three have been developed i.e. - mechanical treadles using the deformation of the web of the rail, magnetic treadles operating with uniform magnetic suspension and, to a growing extent, electronic impulse generators working on the principles of connection variations between coils.
