Steam superheaters dramatically improve the performance of railway engines. [Pg.1242]

Railway engines are dealt with in the same way as premises for the purposes of Section 1 of this Act (which controls dark smoke) except that the owner of the engine is to be held responsible. Other Sections of the Act do not apply. [Pg.755]

Wood is one of the oldest constructional materials. Historically it was important in world exploration and trade, and the defence of that trade, in the provision of merchant ships and navies. It was also important in the early days of railway engineering and in building construction. Although in many applications wood has been replaced by other materials, this renewable resource now supports the growing industries of manufactured wood products. Prominent amongst these are the panel materials chipboard, flake-board, strandboard, plywood and blockboard, hardboard and softboard, wood-cement products and the products of the very large pulp and paper industries. [Pg.957]

The most important and attractive part of the NSC is a Science Park for children. With green surroundings, the Children s Science Park has exhibited on time, motion, energy, power and work. Also, there are models of railway engines, tram cars, aeroplanes, steam lorries, a windmill and a sun dial. There are birds, animals and fish to acquaint children with nature. While children enjoy the Science Park the most, it also helps them to understand what why and how of the queries, questions and problems haunting their minds. [Pg.6]

In both countries, devotion to technical progress took on a life of its own, and grew into a cause to be pursued for its own sake. Train riders came to expect ever-faster travel speed represented progress. Railway engineers, who best understood the limitations of their machines, learned to despise the cult of speed. The public, they felt, seemed caught in the grip of a collective psychosis. [Pg.62]

The series hybrids are actually used only for particular applications, and the principal ones are diesel powered railway engines, ships, vehicles with a separated motor for each wheel. The main disadvantage of the series hybrid is that there is only an energy flow from the storage system to wheels, which must pass through all components of the configuration, while the fundamental advantage consists in a considerably low cost of the system. [Pg.158]

A study of the development of the British railway network from the 1830s shows how railway engineers and their regulators grasped the concept of Safety Audit as the key to a safe transport system. In the early days of this form of mass transportation, accidents were common as the pioneers came to grips with the demands of moving people and goods, at previously unknown speeds, around the country. [Pg.9]

The electrical conductivity of the thin coating is uhhzed on windshields for railway engines and airplanes to make it possible to warm them up with electric current for defogging. [Pg.866]

The diagrams in Figure 5-21 illustrate the results of actual load testing on both types of conduit by the Roadway Conunittee of the American Railway Engineering Association at an installation near Farina, Illinois. Both the flexible and the rigid pipes were buried under thirty-five feet of identical fill material. Obviously, specific pressures vary from installation to installation, but the relationship in the way the two kinds of pipe react to the same burial condition generally remains constant. [Pg.327]
