Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Locomotive Operation and Train Control Theory is, in the main, our safest guide to trustworthy results. How true this was in the adeption of superheated steam for locomotives! Before its application, theory anticipated to a nicety the results which later were obtained in operation. This applies also to the practical applications of speed-time curves, as set forth in this volume. However, theory alone has its limitations and the locomotive testing plant has done much to stimulate new interest in the study of locomotive performance.

This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Practice and Explanation of the Machinery of Locomotive Engines: In Operation on the Several Lines Railway Locomotive engine driving has now become a very important duty, requiring the utmost vigilance on the part of the driver, which renders it necessary that he should possess at all times great presence of mind and promptitude of action when on the road. The importance, therefore, of these duties to the public requires a proper course of training and examination before any candidate becomes qualified to act as an engine-man. For this reason there should be a regular period of apprenticeship for every engine-man, the length of such apprenticeship being regulated by his previous mechanical knowledge and experience. The speed on railways is now about 20 miles an hour greater than it was about ten years ago; and the man who could then, with little training, drive a locomotive at a speed of from 20 to 25 miles an hour, could not be prudently appointed to do so at a speed of from 40 to 45 miles an hour, now common on all lines of railway. We therefore think that it is only a necessary precaution on the part of Railway Companies, that every engine driver in their employment should have his indentures regularly drawn up and attested in the usual way of such deeds, as they would be alike valuable to the public, to railway companies, and to engine men, as satisfactory testimonials of experience, competency, and good conduct. It is, however, highly creditable to engine drivers as a body, that in most cases of emergency they have proved equal to the occasion, and all c'ompetent drivers now employed should be entitled to indentures from their present employers.

Download or read book Locomotive Operation written by G. R. Henderson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Locomotive Operation: A Technical and Practical Analysis The object of this work is to give a complete and systematic discussion of the theory and practice of locomotive operation. By this is meant the work or results accomplished by a loco motive in motion, together with the effect upon itself and the track, and the amount of fuel and water needed to perform such work, rather than an exclusive treatise upon the mere manipulation of the machine, though the latter naturally forms a part of the study in connection with the proper manner of procuring certain results. The order in which the different conditions are taken up is somewhat at variance with the usual custom. Inertia is first considered, as this property is inherent in all bodies having motion of a variable character. The Action of the Steam is next examined in detail, as to its power of producing rotation and strains in the various members of the mechanism. Resistance naturally follows, as it must be overcome by the action of the steam. This leads us to Slipping and Braking, which are the logical outcome of the previous studies. These prepare us for an examination of the Hauling Power at slow speeds, but in order to consider high speeds, the steam capacity of the boiler must be determined, which is first under taken. As the principal business of the locomotive is to haul trains, this is the most important chapter of the treatise, and it is placed in this part of the work, so that the various factors by which it is governed might be studied in an elementary man ner before the complication necessary for a complete under standing of it is encountered. After this follow determinations of the water and fuel consumption under different conditions, and their economical use.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Locomotive Engine Running and Management: A Treatise on Locomotive Engines The period of twenty - three years and a half that elapsed since the first edition of Locomotive Engine Running and Management was published has seen the. Introduction of many additions to the appliances used in operating the locomotive, but the engine itself has been changed very little, except being made larger. Progress in locomotive engineering is largely repte sented by improvements upon the appliances referred to, and to the introduction of new ones. In preparing the twenty-second edition of Locomotive Engine Run ning and Management it has been my aim to make the book a certain and safe manual of instruction to the modern locomotive engineer. The best practice in hand ling locomotives has been made as plain as possible and the principles of locomotive engineering, which embraces information concerning heat, steam, and motive power, have been explained in words that will be understood by every person who can read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Locomotive Engine Running and Management: Showing How to Manage Locomotives in Running Different Kinds of Trains With Economy and Dispatch The first edition of Locomotive Engine Running and Management was published in 1885, thirty years ago. Many important changes have been made on the de sign and operation of the locomotive and its attach ments in these thirty years, and in my opinion the time had arrived for a thorough revision of the book which is now offered to the railway world as practically a new book suitable for meeting the needs of modern practice. The changes on air-brake mechanism have been revolutionary and a section on electric mechanism has been added to meet the development of that art. Locomotive Engine Running and Management has been an intellectual ladder which many ambitious men have climbed on their way to higher positions than those enjoyed in train service. The author cherishes the hope that the revised edition will prove as helpful as those which have gone before it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catechism of the Locomotive The first edition of the Catechism of the Locomotive was written in 1873. Since then many changes and improvements have been made in the construction of locomotives, so that in preparing a second edition of the book the first one had to be thoroughly revised, and to a great extent rewritten, and a great deal of entirely new matter had to be added to bring it up to the present state of the art of locomotive engineering. Most of the illustrations are entirely new, and have been selected from the latest practice in this country. Additional chapters have been added on Force and Motion; Resolution of Motion and Forces; the Principles of the Lever; the Action of the Piston, connecting-rod and Crank; Action of the Pistons, Cranks and driving-wheels; the Westinghouse Air Brake; the Care and Use of air-brakes; and the Eames Vacuum Driving Wheel Brake.
