Project Gutenberg 2008-05-12 Public domain in the USA. 277 White, John H. 1933 Introduction of the Locomotive Safety Truck Contributions from the Museum of History and Technology: Paper 24 Produced by Colin Bell, Joseph Cooper, David Wilson and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Introduction of the Locomotive Safety Truck" by John H. White is a scientific publication produced as part of the Contributions from the Museum of History and Technology during the mid-20th century. Written in 1961, this work focuses on the engineering and historical significance of the safety truck for locomotives, an important innovation in railway technology. The likely topic of the book revolves around the technological advancements in locomotive design aimed at improving safety and performance during the early stages of American railroading. The book provides a detailed account of the development and implementation of the locomotive safety truck, particularly focusing on the work done by inventor Levi Bissell and others in the mid-19th century. It describes the challenges posed by the rough track conditions and the need for locomotives to negotiate sharp curves effectively. The text explains how the introduction of the safety truck, including Bissell's modifications and future improvements, significantly reduced derailments and enhanced locomotive stability. Through various design iterations and testimonials from contemporaries in the railway industry, White illustrates the evolution of this critical technology, culminating in its adoption and the impact it had on the safety and efficiency of rail transport.
