 locomotive, and all were to be started
 together say at speed of 25 miles per LMU'1 ,, bp9rs 1t ais obvious that each traln
 would have d speed of its own locomotive
 addition to the speed of all below it.
 Thus, the tTail~CUQning upon Lhe ground
 would have d speed of D miles per hour, eva IJOUaUd the obherS ofJlD4.zA Io0 and l25,
