  • Abstract
    This paper deals with the mechanical arrangement of the locomotive, and with the electrical gear in so far as it affects the mechanical design. The influence of the mechanical arrangement on the riding of the locomotive is briefly considered. Some of the most important driving systems are described and criticized, and a short explanation of the causes of trouble in side-rod drives is given.
