Abstract :
AS COMPLETE dieselization of the United States railroads approaches, the problem of replacing steam-powered rotary snowplows increases. Numerous designs have been tried in the past decade but thus far none has satisfactorily met all of the broad requirements. The electric drive here described features high reliability, over-all simplicity, standard interchangeable components, inherent stabilization, and adaptability.
