USE OF DIGITAL COMPUTER FOR CALCULATING THE POSITION OF THE CONTACT WIRE AND THE SYSTEM HEIGHTS

BERECHNUNG DER FAHRDRAHTLAGE UND DER SYSTEMHOEHEN MIT DEM DIGITALRECHNER

The correct relation between the inclination chosen for the contact wire and the increase of system height is emphasized, which must be observed in order that a perfect position of the contact wire can be secured in lowered chaingear contact lines of electric railways. A mathmetical relationship is defined and illustrated by an example. A universal flow chart and a machine program in FEL-ALGOL are mentioned for the digital computation of lowering a supporting cable within the reach of a bridge.
