Synopsis
Excerpt from Miller's Trussed Platforms, Compression Buffers and Automatic Couplers: The Standard American System of Making Up Railroad Passenger Trains
But while various improvements have been made in the minor details of cars, there has been no change in platforms, other than the adoption of my Improvements, which are now rapidly coming into general use; and I see no reason to doubt of their becoming the standard national system of making up passenger trains in this country.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a discourse by Colonel E. Miller, an ardent advocate for enhanced railway safety. His work, written at a time of considerable advancement and innovation for land-based transportation, explores two key safety concerns: telescoping and oscillation, which were common and deadly threats on the newly developed railroads of the era. Miller details how these accidents could be prevented through engineering enhancements to the system and the use of his patented coupling system, which both prevented telescoping and reduced the likelihood of oscillation. A wealth of accident reports and examples illustrate the effectiveness of his proposed reforms. The author's passion for safer railway transportation shines through this book, making it an important examination into an underappreciated aspect of the industrial revolution. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332022939_0
