THE EFFECT OF FORCES ON THE RAIL JOINTS, AND THE NOSE-SUSPENDED MOTOR DRIVES OF LOCOMOTIVES

With the help of an analogue computer, the author analyses the reciprocal effects in relation to the speed, the uneveness, and the resilience of the joints. It is concluded that there is close interdependence between the quality of the motor suspension and the reaction on the motor axle.
