An Ingenious Engine Test Bed

NORTH Sea Aerial & General Transport, Ltd., a subsidiary of the Blackburn Aeroplane & Motor Co., Ltd., which operates a Royal Air Force Reserve Flying School at Brough, E. Yorks, has recently built an engine test room adjoining the engine repair shop and has installed a very ingenious engine test bed. Mr. T. Bancroft, Chief Engineer of the Flying School, is responsible for the design of the bed. With the exception of the brake gear, cooling fan, starting motor, switch gear and instruments the whole of the installation has been constructed by the Company.

Running, Maintenance and Repair of Diesel Engines

A VERY pactical treatise intended for those entrusted with the operation of Diesel engine plants, particularly land installations. The first two chapters are really hors-d'ceuvre, dealing briefly with the selection of the type most suitable to requirements, and with the reliability of Diesel engines relatively to other prime movers. The index of reliability is determined from insurance claims, but the value of the conclusions arrived at cannot be assessed as the statistics are not given. It is not clear whether extent or number of claims is taken as the criterion. Running, Maintenance and Repair of Diesel Engines. By Philip H. Smith. Pp. 159. (London: Constable and Co., Ltd., 1927.) 3s. 6d. net.

Balancing Factors in the Use and Obligations Covering Ownership of Freight-Train Cars

Abstract In this paper the author discusses the development of railroad equipment to dale and points out some of the principles to be observed if railroads would continue to expand and become more efficient transportation agents. The functions of transportation are first defined, following which is a general discussion of the limitations of railroad capacity because of terminal facilities. Terminal expenses also are treated at some length. There is a discussion of the slow-freight problem and recommendations for speeding up traffic are made. The matter of attaining the greatest utilization of equipment and materials is emphasized and recommendations made. Under this part of the paper the latest methods of car and locomotive repair are mentioned and their effect on the movement of freight emphasized. A very important part of the paper deals with the depreciation and retirement factors. A discussion of the aspects of design shows the great opportunity of engineers to assist in the solution of the problem of transportation by providing better equipment that will not require frequent repairs and which will, consequently, spend more time in actual service. In this connection the importance of standardization is emphasized.
