EFFECTS ON TRAIN OPERATION OF MIXED CONSISTS OF ON-TREAD AND DISC BRAKED ROLLING STOCK--PART I

DAS ZUSAMMENWIRKEN VON VKOTZ-UND SCHEIBENGEBREMSTEN FAHRZEUGEN IN EISENBAHNZUGEN

This article deals with the problem of attaining uniform braking power for service, sustained grade and emergency braking on mixed consists of equipment with disc and on-tread brakes. Formulae are developed and charts show the relative proportioning of braking power arrived at between disc and on-tread braked cars. The conclusions reached show that this proportioning of braking power on such mixed consists can provide up to 30 minutes of sustained braking without any difficulties for all types of braking requirements.
