NEW TYPES OF MASTS FOR RAILWAY ELECTRIFICATION

NUEVOS TIPOS DE POSTES PARA ELECTRIFICACION DE FERROCARRILES

The author, who bases his experience on the use of the present "Vierendeel" type mast, composed of two U-shaped posts joined by two wide bars, proposes the use of a new type of mast, with a view to improving strength, easier manufacture, and a saving in costs. This new type of mast is formed of two parallel uprights, braced with round iron bar bent into a triangular shape. The securing devices have also been simplified.
