Evolution Of Electric Engines
From the Scientific American


Electric locomotives appear to be going
through process of evolution similar to
that of steam locomotives. At first the
motors of the electric locomotives were
placed below the floor line. Now that
large motors are being used. they are be-
ing placed above the floor, and connected
to the driving wheels by means Of driving
rods similar TO those Of the steam loco
motive. 1t used to be thought low
center of gravity was necessary for a
steam locomotive, but 1t was found that
the side blows tended to injure the track
whereas with high center of gravity
these blows We're taken up by the springs
and converted into downward pressure
rather than side pressure on the rails
The same principle applies to electrica |
motors. In a discussion of this subieci
in recent number of the Electrical
Journal. the following conclusion is
reached: That the only part of the loco
motive not completely spring supported
should he the wheels and axles and anv
connecting rods used In conjunction there
with that the center of gravity of the
machine should be raised TO about one
ard one-tenth times the width of the
gauge: that all the reavier parts of the
locomotive should be placed longitudinally
within the length of the driving wheel
base. so that no heavy masses will he at
either end of the LOCOMOTIVES and that the
motors should be rigidly fastened to the
main frame of the locomotive. where they
would be much more accessible They
could be of a part Y open type, thus al
| lowing better ventilation. Possibly forced
ventilation would be necessary.
