What reading level is Modern Locomotive Construction book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
One of the conditions peculiar to the locomotive, and to which a driving axle must conform, is the width A of the axle box (Fig. 316), which is short when compared with the lengths of pillow blocks in stationary or marine engines. This width A of the axle box is limited by the distance between the cylin- ders and also by the gauge of the track ; the latter is established, and therefore if we make the axle box too wide, then, since the center of the width of frame and the center of axle box shou...ld. Coincide, or very nearly so, we must either move the frames closer together to a corresponding amount, and thus be compelled to reduce the width of the fire-box, which is decidedly an objectionable feature, or we must increase the distance between the cylinders, which is also objectionable.
The width A of the axle box should be only suf- ficient to allow for the proper thickness of the flanges on the box and wedges to give these the requisite strength.
Figs. 314 to 340 represent driving boxes suit- able for the pedestals shown in Figs.
