  • Abstract
    Satisfactory current collection on electric railways using pantograph trolleys depends on the ability of the pantograph to follow irregularities in the height of the contact wire at all operating speeds and within a limited range of pressures between the contact wire and the shoe. In this paper operating characteristics of pantograph collectors are outlined, and operating data for 3 typical pantographs are given.
