Abstract :
A new type of prime mover, in the form of a gas-turbine power plant, recently has been successfully applied in a locomotive. The problems encountered and the electric equipment employed are, in many respects, similar to those of diesel-electric locomotives. This presentation deals primarily with those features, as regards this locomotive application, that it is felt are sufficiently unique to be of general interest.
