BOGIES WITH ONE AXLE WITH IDLER WHEELS

HALBDREHGESTELLE AUF LOSRAEDERN

The author first presents the theoretical advantages of having tractive stock using trucks with one axle with idler wheels: hunting is eliminated, there is less wear of wheels and smoother running. He then describes various methods for constructing trucks with one axle with idler wheels to avoid possible disadvantages which could arise. Lastly, he puts forward solutions for adapting this type of truck to various tractive units (electric, diesel and linear motors).
