Compound Locomotives (Classic Reprint)

Arthur Tannatt Woods

4.9/5 (11369 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Compound Locomotives In the preparation of the series of articles which are here collected in book form, the aim of the author was to combine the description of the various forms of compound locomotives which have been actually used, with so much of the theory of the design of compound engines as would seem to be directly applicable to locomotive practice. An effort has been made to present an unprejudiced analysis of each type, and to point out such advantages and disadvantages as are apparently clearly demonstrable, while carefully avoiding matters of individual preference. Free use has been made of all available material, and the authority for data is in general given in the text. The author wishes to specially acknowledge his indebtedness to Engineering, and to Mr. Anatole Mallet, civil engineer, Paris; Mr. A. von Borries, locomotive superintendent of the Hanover Railroad; Messrs. Henry and Baudry, of the Paris, Lyons & Mediterranean Railway, and Mr. G. Du Bousquet, of the Northern Railway of France, for courteously supplying him with information concerning their designs.
