CONSTRUCTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR IMPROVING THE RIDING STABILITY AND THE GUIDING QUALITY OF ELECTRIC AND DIESEL LOCOMOTIVES AND VEHICLES. SUMMARY OF THE WORK CARRIED OUT BY SPECIALISTS COMMITTEE B 10 SO FAR

Having, since it was set up, published nine reports (RP 1 to 9) and prepared another one (RP 11) for publication, Specialists Committee B 10 considers the time to be appropriate for striking an interim balance. The present report (RP 10) serves this purpose by reviewing the work carried out so far and thus allowing the necessary conclusions to be inferred for its continuation.
