The first steam turbine locomotive has
practically been completed by the North
British Locomotive company, Glasgow.
The engine. which IL designed for ex-
press passenger traffic and II carried on
two eight-wheeled bogies. has been to the
Glasgow University Engineering society
and pronounced a success.
For long time engineers have been
thinking over the problem OF providing
self-generating electric engines that might
run over existing railways without mecca
stating the provision of special electric
equipment In the new turbine electric
engine an attempt Is made to solve this
problem.
According to the makers description Of
the engine. steam Is generated in q boiler
as in the ordinary steam locomotive.
From the boiler the steam Is led to q tur-
bine running at tho rate of 5000 revolutions
minute. To this turbine Is coupled q
continuous current. variable voltage, dyn-
amo or generator This dynamo supplies
electrical energy to the four driving axles
of the locomotive.
The exhaust steam, being free from oil,
is condensed and returned to the boiler
again and again. All the machinery Is
asily controlled from the drivers foot
plate.
Years of experiment and much money
had been expended on this engine. It 10

ton that is at present unsettled.
