Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Increasing Car Operation Economies This volume has been prepared to assist those interested in the problem of securing better economies in the practical operation of electric railway cars. Financiers, executives, men actually directing operations, and everyone interested in increasing the economies and net earnings of electric railways will find presented information and practical suggestions worthy of the most careful consideration. The principles controlling and determining the possible economies and limitations for standards of service are discussed; as, also, the methods commercially available for securing the obtainable results in practice. Our impelling motive is the belief that a thorough understanding of such principles will be the deciding basis for a decision as to the effective method for securing the available results. This brings us to the point that the Rico Coasting Recorder is not the embodiment of some new and wonderful principle in car operation, but an instrument that helps the motorman to attain in practice the motor efficiencies that the designer considered in the design of the equipment, as obtainable for the stated operating conditions. Since the mechanical accuracy of the Rico Coasting Recorder is not in dispute, it remains to prove that the thing that the Recorder measures - coasting - is the correct measure of actual efficiency in the use of electrical energy. This proof is furnished conclusively in the study by Mr. Chappelle, herewith. First of all, let it be clearly understood that Mr. Chappelle does not stand alone in stating that coasting is the correct measure of efficiency. On the contrary, every motor designer tacitly recognizes the truth of this statement by including a coasting period in determining the adaptability of the equipment for the stated operating conditions, based on the motor characteristic performance curves. Mr. Chappelle, however, has gone further by pointing out in detail just what the correct utilization of coasting means in every-day practice.

Download or read book Family Economics Review written by U. S. Institute of Home Economics and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-03 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Family Economics Review: December 1960 Prices for new cars, as measured by the Consumer Price Index, customarily decline in the months following the introduction of the new models; the decline for the 1960 models has been greater than usual. The increased popularity of compact cars has resulted in a substantial increase in production of domestic cars in the lower price ranges. Consumers have also benefited this year from substantial declines in used car prices and, in recent months, from lower prices for household appliances. Although it now appears unlikely that 1961 prices for automobiles and household appliances will differ much from current levels, purchasers of automobiles will benefit from the availability of lower priced models and price declines which have been recorded for other models. Prices for services -which now represent an appreciable share of the average family's budget-have been increasing much more rapidly in recent years than have prices for commodities. From September 1959 to September 1960 prices for services increased, on the average, nearly 3 percent as compared with about 1 percent for commodities. Household operation services, gas, and electricity are 3 percent higher than a year ago; medical care services are it percent higher. There is no indication that this rate of price increase for services will level off in the coming year. Recent legislation provides that the Federal Government will match State funds for assisting low - income persons over 65 meet their medical bills. To what extent individual States will initiate programs to obtain such funds remains to be seen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Day of Two Noons For nearly a century the American railroads, large and small, have been working together with a View to providing the public with the best possible transportation service. Their cooperative effort has included the standardization of gauge and equipment, the adoption of a uniform code of operating rules, a uniform plan for the interchange of freight cars, joint rates and fares, and numerous other arrangements without which there could be no through schedules, billings or services. The story of the adoption by the railroads of Standard Time, told in the following pages, strikingly illustrates the benefits of cooperative action on the part of the railway industry. Although the lives and habits of people everywhere are regulated by Standard Time, few persons are aware that it was through the joint efforts of the American railroads, working together to improve their services, that this orderly method of reckoning and keeping time was introduced more than two-thirds of a century ago. The work of standardization and coordination of railway operations which began many years ago is carried on today through various branches of the Association of American Railroads. Railroad men are constantly working together on scores of research and standardization projects involving equipment, materials and methods - all for the purpose of effecting economies and increasing the efficiency and safety of railway operations.

Download or read book Handbook of the History of Economic Thought written by Jürgen Backhaus and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-11-12 with total page 725 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reader in the history of economic thought challenges the assumption that today’s prevailing economic theories are always the most appropriate ones. As Leland Yeager has pointed out, unlike the scientists of the natural sciences, economists provide their ideas largely to politicians and political appointees who have rather different incentives that might prevent them from choosing the best economic theory. In this book, the life and work of each of the founders of economics is examined by the best available expert on that founding figure. These contributors present rather novel and certainly not mainstream interpretations of the founders of modern economics. The primary theme concerns the development of economic thought as this emerged in the various continental traditions including the Islamic tradition. These continental traditions differed substantially, both substantively and methodologically, from the Anglo-Saxon orientation that has been dominant in the last century for example in the study of public finance or the very construct of the state itself. This books maps the various channels of continental economics, particularly from the late-18th through the early-20th centuries, explaining and demonstrating the underlying unity amid the surface diversity. In particular, the book emphasizes the writings of John Stuart Mill, his predecessor David Ricardo and his follower Jeremy Bentham; the theory of Marginalism by von Thünen, Cournot, and Gossen; the legacy of Karl Marx; the innovations in developmental economics by Friedrich List; the economic and monetary contributions and “struggle of escape” by John Maynard Keynes; the formidable theory in public finance and economics by Joseph Schumpeter; a reinterpretation of Alfred Marshall; Léon Walras, Heinrich von Stackelberg, Knut Wicksell, Werner Sombart, and Friedrich August von Hayek are each dealt with in their own right.
Download or read book The Rediscovery of Classical Economics written by David Simpson and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The diligent seeker of truth about our current discontents should turn to. . . The Rediscovery of Classical Economics, by David Simpson. . . Its ostensible object is to resurrect what he calls the "classical tradition" emanating from Adam Smith and distinguish it not only from Keynesian economics but also from today's mainstream known to aficionados as the "neoclassical" orthodoxy. Without going into academic details, this orthodoxy stands accused of replacing a theory of relative prices (how many loaves will buy a pullover) with a more sophisticated account of economic growth, and of foisting on us a theory of "rational expectations" that are anything but rational.' Samuel Brittan, Financial Times 'This book puts human beings back at the heart of the economic process. It shows how this classical, human-centred tradition, stretching from Adam Smith onward, gives us a much better understanding of economic events and what to do about them than the mechanistic, mathematical models of too many economists and planners today.' Eamonn Butler, The Adam Smith Institute, UK 'David Simpson writes about key economic issues with admirable lucidity. He draws deeply on experience as well as on his knowledge of economic theory.' Asa Briggs David Simpson skilfully argues that a market economy can be best understood as a human complex system, a perspective that represents a continuation of the classical tradition in economic thought. In the classical tradition, growth rather than allocative efficiency is the principal object of enquiry, economic phenomena are recognised to be elements of processes rather than structures, and change is evolutionary. The book shows the common principles that connect the early classical school, the Austrian school and complexity theory in a single line of thought. It goes on to show how these principles can be applied to explain the characteristic features of a market economy namely incessant change, growth, the business cycle and the market process itself and argues that static equilibrium theory, whether neoclassical or neo-Keynesian, cannot satisfactorily account for these phenomena. This fascinating book will provide a stimulating read for academics, postgraduate students and all those with an interest in economic theory and economic policy.
