Suggests Steam Engine as Model.


Angus Sinclair, editor Of the New
York Railway and Locomotive Eli
Cireering, and one of the real veteran
locomotive engineering experts in
America, whose Judgment always car
ries weight in matters relating 10 his
profession, Is Of the opinion that de
siguers of electric locomotives should
he guided In some measure by the ex-
perience of those who developed or
designed steam locomotives.
Originally it was believed to be ne,
Crssary to have the center OF gravity
on steam locomotives as low as pos
sible. All sorts of peculiar ap'
pliances were employed for this pur'
pose. Experience demonstrated that
a low center of gravity was more in
jurious in those days to the weak
strap rails and other rails than high
center of gravity; that an engine
with a low center rode roughly and
its side thrusts were damaging to the
tracks. Few consolidation engines
with small wheels are used today. be-
cause the greatest damage was done
by these thrusts on the track. The
advent of the Wooten locomotive oc
casioncd much alarm, in the expecta
tion that with it's high center of grav'
ity it would prove dangerous. 1t was
found, however that its tendency was
to give the blow to the top of the rail
instead of its side. as a result. desig
ners of steam locomotives have
shown a tendency to get the center o1
gravity as high as is practicable with
safety.
With these facts In view, Mr.. Sin
clair argued that designers of electric
locomotives should profit by the ex
perience Of steam locomotive engin
GERS. Electric engines have been rur
at a high speed with low center o
gravity, and it is the belief OF Mr.
Sinclair that what has been fount
true of steam locomotives ultimatel!
will repeat itself with respect to elec
trio locomotives.
