THE GAS TURBINE IN RAILWAY SERVICE 127 A,B Brown, Boveri gas turbine-electric locos 485 128 General Electric 8,500 H.P. gas turbine-electric locomotive486 A unique work of reference on all forms of railway locomotion to be found in the world today, this volume stands alone in scope and coverage of its subject. It will prove an invaluable source of information and reference for professional railwaymen and amateur locomotive enthusiasts. The Concise Encyclopedia of World Railway Locomotives, the fourth volume in a series of concise encyclopedias in various fields of knowledge, is the most authoritative survey of railway motive power ever published. It has been written by experts and is edited by a well-known writer on the subject of locomotives and railroading. Patrick Ransome-Wallis has aimed at more than a mere collection of facts, definitions and dimensions. He has chosen as contributors for this volume not only men who are world-famed authorities on their subjects, but who arc also capable of presenting concise and readable writing. Looking beyond the actual construction of a particular locomotive or component, they examine the reasons governing its design and give attention to little-known experiments which may have failed in their immediate purpose but proved of incalculable value in the furtherance of good design. The story of the great mechanical engineers is contained in brief biographies. In addition there is a valuable bibliography, classified and comprehensive. In keeping with the standards set by the other books in the Concise Encyclopedia series, there are 128 pages of black and white photographs and i6 pages in full color. There are also more than one hundred diagrams and drawings. This encyclopedia is essentially a review of modern power, with considerable space devoted to constructional detail as well as to problems of operation. There are also full descriptions and illustrations of the testing of locomotives. It is a volume that holds a prime place in the present age of transition from the more-than-one-century reign of the steam locomotive to other forms of motive power. Nearly half of this book has been devoted to steam traction the world over, since the steam locomotive is likely to provide the greatest proportion of the world's railway motive power for many years to come. The story of the development of diesel and electric locomotives, which will largely constitute the motive power of the future, is concisely and interestingly told. Less conventional forms of motive power are also covered - the gas-turbine-electric and the non-condensing steam turbomotive -and their future discussed.
