  • Abstract
    The electrification of European railroads is different in many respects from that in the United States. In France there is employed a new single-phase 50-cycle system and French engineers have built up a case for this type of electrification. Another departure from American practice is the modern C.F.F. locomotive in the title picture used on the 16&2/3;-cycle 15,000-volt lines of Switzerland.
