Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electrical Railroading, or Electricity as Applied to Railroad Transportation Exactly what electricity is we do not know, and indeed a practical man always dealing with the useful effects of electricity, applying these to the necessities and for the comfort of mankind, finds little time to wonder what electricity is. We will omit the almost unanswerable question What is -and proceed to the question. Question I. What is meant when a person talks about electricity? Answer. There are certain effects which we believe to be due to electricity, so that when a person observes any one of these things, he at once declares that there is electricity present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Railway Transportation Many books have been published on electric railway engineering but none until this, we believe, purely on the transportation methods and practice of electric railways. Nevertheless, the men engaged in the transportation department of an electric railway greatly exceed in number those in the engineering department, and the opportunities for financial loss through faulty practice are at least as large if not larger. Most of the accounts of electric railway transportation practice which are mentioned in this book have appeared in the transactions of the American Electric Railway Transportation & Traffic Association or in the columns of the electric railway press. The efforts of the authors of the present volume have been devoted to making this information more readily available in book form and adding such comment of their own as seemed to them of possible help to the operating man. A word of explanation and caution to the reader in regard to the methods of different companies, as described in the following pages, is necessary. The conditions on the different properties change often, due to legislative enactments, changes in wages paid, altered demands of the public and other causes. For this reason it is probable that when this book reaches the hands of its readers some of the methods described therein as employed by individual companies will have been radically altered or even abandoned. Such a condition is, of course, unavoidable in any developing industry. It ought not of itself to impair the value of the book to the average reader if the latter looks upon its pages not as a record of unchanging practice but as descriptive of some of the methods employed by different companies at the time that the book was written. A word ought to be said also in regard to the examples cited of practice followed by the different companies. The book is intended in no way to be a compilation of the practice of all companies on the subjects treated. Many companies may be using the same methods as those whose practice is quoted, and in some cases another company may have been the pioneer in the plan followed. The authors have mentioned the examples given in the book in most cases because they happened to be personally acquainted with the methods or because information about them could be more easily obtained. The references to European tramway practice relate to the period before the war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Application of Electricity to Railway Working Classic Reprint written by William Edward Langdon and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-09 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Application of Electricity to Railway Working Within that period the mileage of wire solely devoted to the requirements of the railways of Great Britain has expanded by some 40,000 miles, and the number of instruments has been increased by no less than 80,000; resulting in a present total exceeding 100,000 miles of wire, and some 140,000 instruments. Nor does this entirely dispose of the large telegraphic interest which attaches to the railway service, for to these results should be added some 70,000 miles of wire, the property of the State, which is, at the instance of the Postmaster-General, maintained by the various railway companies. The fact that the entire railway system of the United Kingdom is now worked under the Block system will, to some extent, account for this large expansion. With what beneficial results the enormous expenditure which must have been incurred by the railway companies in the establishment of this means for the further protection of the travelling public has been attended, the Board of Trade Returns amply testify. When we realise the fact that the number of messages emanating with one of the larger English companies - that to which the Author is attached - amounted, during the year 1895, to close upon 5,000,000, and that the number of train reports exceeded 8,000,000, we are at no loss to recognise the importance of, and the need which has brought into existence, so extensive a branch of the railway industry.
