What reading level is Some European Railway Practices book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There was no question but what this method gives a reduc- tion in the cost of manufacture.
French Locomotives Well Balanced Many of the smaller and older locomotives are of the inside cylinder crank axle type, like those in Eng- land. The heavy modern express locomotives of eight-wheel, Atlantic and Pacific types, usually have four cylinders of the same size, if simple; the inside cylinders are low pressure, if compound. The newer passenger locomotives are mostly either compound or superheater ...of the Schmidt type.
38 FOREIGN RAILWAY PRACTICE Cranked Axles The four-cylinder arrangement, whether simple or compound, undoubtedly gives a better balanced loco- motive and to this question of mechanical balance the French evidently give careful attention. For the turning of the journals and inside crank bearings of the cranked axle drivers a special machine* about the size of a quartering machine or driving wheel lathe is used. This is massive and rigid and does good work, but is operated very slowly, as indeed seems to be the case with most of the machines I saw running.
