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

This article deals with this problem of mixed braking systems under conditions of very frequent stopping at short intervals. Formulae are developed for these conditions and charts show the results and comparisons with half, service and emergency braking from various speeds, and the heating effect on treads and wheel plates and brake discs. It is shown that mixed system braking is possible under all these conditions without overstressing the brake discs through over-heating, and that cars with different systems can be accepted in German passenger trains from other countries without affecting the operations adversely.
