THE RIDING PROPERTIES OF BOGIE VEHICLES--3

Recent vehicle development has led to the introduction of railcars and locomotives with unsymmetrical body-weight distribution resulting in the use of bogies of differing design at each end. The author explores theoretical predictions of railcar and locomotive riding performance as an aid to the rationalization of bogie design.
