Abstract :
In the years 1945 and 1946 we have seen the completed development of new and larger Diesel engines designed specifically for use in main line Diesel-electric locomotives. Application of the larger electric transmission systems required for converting the engine power into tractive effort at the rail has presented new control problems, in the solution of which many new developments in circuits, apparatus, and manufacture have been made.
