Abstract
Characteristics of locomotive electric equipment were thought to be well established, but development of self-propelled electric locomotives has introduced new concepts. Design improvements have reduced equipment size, improved reliability, and promoted a degree of standardization heretofore thought impractical. Electric motive power leads the way toward improved rail transportation.
