Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book delves into the practicalities of constructing electric tramways, a technology that was rapidly gaining popularity at the beginning of the 20th century. The author, a Tramway Engineer, offers detailed guidance on laying out the permanent way, including the selection of rail gauges, the design of curves and turnouts, and the importance of a strong roadbed foundation. He examines the benefits and drawbacks of both wooden sleeper and concrete construction, offering advice on joint spacing, bonding methods, and paving materials. The book further explores the intricacies of overhead equipment, covering the choices of materials for trolley wires and supporting poles, as well as the detailed planning of curves and the installation of switches. The author provides in-depth descriptions of various successful tramway systems, including those in Manchester, Brighton, and Lancaster. Ultimately, this book reveals the importance of meticulous planning and the use of high-quality materials in the construction of electric tramways, highlighting the critical role that this infrastructure played in the rapid urban development of the early 20th century. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
