807. Locomotive Engineering. [Hancock.]

11-12, Th. F. S.

A study of the steam locomotive. The problems of inertia effects,
balancing, tractive force, track and train resistances, hauling capacity, etc.,
are treated in lectures. Clear physical conceptions are gained by careful
examination and study of the machine itself. For a knowledge of its
history and present development general reading and written reports are
required. (Winter.)
