Abstract :
Recent trends in industrial control equipment have been toward the use of static devices. The objective has been to secure greater reliability, lower maintenance costs, and more accurate control. Absolute reliability is a prime requisite for railroad locomotive control. Substitution of easily serviced packages of static equipment for rotating machines and dynamic regulators of all types is one advance toward this ultimate of absolute reliability.
