Street Railway Motors: With Descriptions and Cost of Plants and Operation of the Various, Systems in Use, or Proposed for Motive Power on Street Railways (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Street Railway Motors: With Descriptions and Cost of Plants and Operation of the Various, Systems in Use, or Proposed for Motive Power on Street Railways The present age seems to be peculiarly prolific in the invention of motors for street railways and in new applications of old and recognized motor forces for propulsion of the cars used for urban and suburban transit. Some of these possess decided merits, and present claims for the support of capitalists and of the public that are, at least, worthy of careful examination; others are advanced by parties who are evidently ignorant of the thermo-dynamic, chemical, and mechanical laws upon which some of these operations depend, and schemes are sometimes presented that are visionary and impracticable. A brief review of the plans proposed for street railways, their merits and defects, with the cost of plant and of operation, will probably possess sufficient interest at the present time to excuse the preparation and publication of this volume.
