RESEARCH INTO WHEEL-RAIL ELECTRIC CONTACT

ETUDE DU CONTACT ELECTRIQUE "RAIL-ROUE"

Research project by a student at the French National School of Public Works on the electric properties of wheel-rail contact with respect to railway signalling in particular. The author describes the parameters involved in track circuit shunting and then analyzes the causes of interference (electric resistance, disruptive discharge, etc.). He describes an experimental measuring device and proposes inprovements to track circuits.
