BRAKING SYSTEM FOR HIGH-SPEED TRAIN-QUARTERLY REPORT-1964

From the results of running tests carried out with the prototype car train in the last year (1962 to approximately 1963) on the test track section, several problems were pointed out to be solved or improved for maximum safety and better traffic service, such as insufficient braking force, failure of electric brake, wheel slip and heat crack or deformation of brake disc. To certify the practical effects of these revised designs in the course of manufacturing of the mass production type cars, several kinds of running tests were carried out using prototype cars, about the modified circuit of electric brake, plans to eliminate the flat of wheel tread, improvement of brake disc and certification of the supposition running resistance formula.
