A STUDY ON THE MOTION OF OVERHEAD CONTACT WIRE AT CROSSING

A pantograph is unlikely to wedge at a crossing of contact wires even if there is some variation in the heights of the two wires above the track. This study considered the force between the wire and the pantograph horn, the bending strain on the horn, and the limit of variations in contact wire heights which can be traversed successfully.
