Download or read book The Locomotive Laboratory Classic Reprint written by University Of Illinois and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Locomotive Laboratory The axles and tires are of the highest grade of heat-treated carbon steel and were donated by the Midvale Steel Company. Provision has been made for replacing the 52-inch wheels by 72-inch wheels for test ing high speed locomotives, where the use of the smaller wheels would involve rotating speeds as high as 530 revolutions per minute. Bearings. - The bearings for the supporting-wheel axles are self aligning, their shells being carried in spherical sockets which form the upper part of the pedestal. The journals are inches by 20 inches, and the axles bear on the underside only. Oil for lubrication enters the bearing cap at two points and is supplied under head from an elevated tank. The pedestal is made in two parts, so that by removing the lower section, its height may be adjusted to provide for the 7 2-inch supporting wheels. This arrangement will continue to bring the top edge of the larger supporting wheels level with the outside track. The base of the pedestal is secured to a massive cast-iron bed-plate by T-bolts held in slots running the entire length of the bed. Each bed plate consists of three sections placed end to end, 18 inches in height and 36 inches wide over all. The length of the present bed-plate is 42 feet, which provides for a maximum driving-wheel base of 36 feet, and the foundation is built to receive two more 14-foot sections of bed plate. The supporting machinery rests on a concrete foundation 12 feet wide and 93 feet long, which varies in thickness from feet at the front to 5 feet at the rear end. The rear end is surmounted by a pyramidal base of reinforced concrete, to which the dynamometer is bolted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Car Lubrication The widely taught law that friction is independent of the extent of surface in contact, but varies only with the pressure, is about ready to be placed among the archives of ancient scientists. The pressure inferred in this relationship is that exerted over the whole surface, and not per square inch - that is, a surface one square foot in area under a pressure of one pound per square inch would require the same force to move it over a resisting surface as it would if made one square inch in area under a pressure of 144 pounds per square inch.
