Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a graphical method for solving electric railway problems involving the characteristics of motive power. The author, a professor of railway engineering, was dissatisfied with existing methods as they were not accurate or required too many assumptions to be made. The result was the development of graphical methods for determining proper points for cutting off power and applying brakes, motor performance with varying potential and resistance, starting resistance for series motors with rheostatic control, series-parallel control, and plotting speed-time and distance-time curves. The author gives detailed explanations of each of these methods with the use of clear and concise diagrams. These methods are accurate, practical, and do not require extensive calculations, so engineers will find it a practical and time-saving tool. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
