  • Abstract
    TESTS on rectifier motive power equipment which have been announced recently1 constitute a very important development in the electrification of steam railroads. Not only does this development mark another important step of progress in the use of electric energy as motive power on railroads, but it forms another practical demonstration of the inherent flexibility of the single-phase a-c system for railroad electrification.
