This book was released on 2023-05-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there had been experiments with the use of a new form of transport - the ‘trackless tram’ (better known as the trolleybus) - during the first decade of the 20th century, it was in June 1911 that Bradford and Leeds became the country’s pioneering operators of trolleybuses. There had been earlier experimental users – in places like Hove and London – and as the tide turned against the tram in many towns and cities, the trolleybus became a popular alternative with the trolleybus coming to dominate the provision of local public transport in places like Derby and Ipswich. This volume – one of four that examines the history of all trolleybus operators in the British Isles – focuses on the systems that operated in Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia.

Download or read book Trams and Trolleybuses written by Oliver Green and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the horse-drawn trams of the nineteenth century to the larger electric models of the early twentieth, this reliable form of public transport revolutionised town travel by making it affordable enough for working people to use. From the 1930s, the rise of the trolleybus, which also picked up power from overhead cables but ran without expensive tracks, looked set to supersede the tram – but ultimately, by the 1950s, both fell victim to motor buses and private cars. However, since the 1980s the environmental benefits of light rail have encouraged a growing comeback for trams on our crowded and polluted city streets. Using beautiful contemporary photographs, this is the fascinating story of the rise, fall and revival of this everyday, yet sometimes controversial, mode of urban transport.

Download or read book Electric Traction written by J. Upadhyay and published by Allied Publishers. This book was released on 2000-07-21 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electric Traction and Utilisation of Electrical Energy, with the former constituting approximately two thirds of the course, is an elective subject prescribed in electrical engineering syllabus of most engineering colleges. While there is a growing demand for making this subject compulsory, most students complain about non-availability of books dealing with all elements of electric traction featuring in the syllabus. To bridge this gap and present the subject in a lucid manner, this book was conceived by the authors with the following broad objectives: (i) To present electric traction as a complete system. (ii) To combine knowledge of fundamentals with an eye on practical orientation. (iii) To give a glimpse of the present state-of-the-art. The books currently available on the subject mostly deal elaborately with train mechanics, traction motor and its control gears, but miss certain key aspects that are essential for appreciation of the subject as a system of transportation. The book has sixteen chapters dealing with different aspects of electric traction. The unique feature of this book is that it includes chapters dealing with such aspects as Linear Induction Motor Propulsion, Railway Signalling, Protection of Electric Locomotive Equipment and Circuits, Preventive/Corrective Maintenance and Application of Computers for Management of Electric Traction System. Illustrative worked Out examples and unsolved numerical exercises taken from question papers of different universities and competitive examinations are designed to impart sufficient clarity and grasp of the fundamentals. The practising engineer in the field, in most cases, pick up the subject in bits and pieces over a rather long time frame. A complete view of the entire subject in the beginning itself may generate better understanding leading to innovativeness and efficiency at work. The authors hope that the book will be helpful to graduate level students as well as practising engineers in the field. Suggestions for further improvements in subsequent editions will be most welcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Which city once had the smallest trolley-bus in the world? Where do you find the first funicular railway in Southeast Asia? How do you recognize a trolley-bus pole? Where is Tramway Road?" "With over 100 old photographs, maps and illustrations, this book gives an overview of the various forms of public transport used in George Town from 1880s to 1963, and the role this transport played in the development of the growth of George Town and Penang." "Penang was one of the first urban centres in Southeast Asia to operate steam trams, horse trams, electric trams and trolleybuses. When the Municipal Commission established its own electric supply, it took over the tram service and started the electric trams in George Town in 1906. This gave the local population excellent public transport around George Town, with one line going up to Ayer Itam. In the late 1920s, the Municipality replaced trams with trolley-buses, experimenting for a while with re-conditioned double-deckers from London Transport!" "The Municipality also operated two railways - firstly, the Penang Hill Railway which was considered an engineering marvel when it was first built, and secondly, the electric railway which transported supplies and tin ingots for Penang's foremost smelting works."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book A-Z of British Trolleybuses written by Stephen Lockwood and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2017-05-09 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last century, the trolleybus developed into a successful provider of public transport in many towns and cities around Britain. It is often described as being part tram and part motorbus. The trolleybus was a fast vehicle whose acceleration from rest was far superior to that of any motorbus. Added to this it was quiet and fume-free, and consumed home-produced electricity generated using coal. During the last twenty years, there have been many books about trolleybuses published, but hardly any of these has tackled the subject from the vehicle manufacturers' angle, instead concentrating on individual trolleybus systems. This volume is, therefore, a summary of the British trolleybus, describing each manufacturer and its products, and then showing what happened to these vehicles throughout their life. It contains an alphabetical listing of all the manufacturers, detailing company history and trolleybus types produced including production totals. A second alphabetical company-by-company listing gives full details of every trolleybus built for British use, including data such as chassis number and any subsequent significant changes. As far as possible it is all presented in a non-technical way. This complete guide to the types of British trolleybuses produced, how many and their operational history is superbly illustrated with over 300 photographs, many in colour.
