[7] 807. Locomotive Engineering. [Hancock.]

12:30-1:30, M. W. F.

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. (Fall.)
