A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This handbook has been compiled with a view of bringing together, in convenient fonn, a simple description of modem electric tramcars, and to give instruction regarding the proper operation of these vehicles on the road. The recent great development of electric tramway systems in this country has occasioned a wide-spread demand for capable and intelligent men to act as motormen, and in the car sheds and depots of the various companies and corporations a large and increasing number of engineers and assistants find daily employment. Information is given in the following pages which will be useful to men wishing to qualify for positions as motormen who are at present gaining practical experience in operating cars for the first time. It will also be of assistance to those readers who are earning a livelihood at such work, and who desire to know more about the vehicles under their charge, with the view of becoming more expert at their work or securing promotion to better positions on the staff. To men engaged in car depots and repair sheds the chapters dealing with car equipments and apparatus will be of interest, as also the chapter relating to faults and breakdowns, and may assist them to more fully understand the machinery under their care and indicate the precautions necessary to ensure its proper working.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
