HIGH SPEED ROLLING STOCK - QUARTERLY REPORT - 1962

Article discussing the topic of high speed rolling stock and the unique design problems of high speed operation. Aerodynamics of design and such factors as wind pressure of passing trains, on pantographs. Tentative car designs, factors of wheels such as axle strength, flat wheel and bearings are considered. Finally the design of the main driving motor and temperature rise, rectification and driving gear are discussed.
