Abstract :
The past three years have seen a great increase of activity in the field of alternating current electrification of steam railroads and, consequently, much attention has been given to the design of the single-phase traction motors upon which the success of this type of electrification chiefly depends. The object of this paper is to describe the up-to-date motors which have been developed to meet the requirements of modern American railroading.
