Fitel Economy Through Streamlining
The railway companies have for some time been considering the effect of streamlining upon speed and running costs, and Eght was thrown on this question by a pa- per read recently by Mr. F. C. Johansen at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
Mr. Johansen, who la engineer- ing research officer of the London Midland and Scottish Railway, was dealing with the air resistance of passenger trains, and told of the comprehensive study of this subject carried out in a wind tun- nel on reduced scale models of LMAR. and LNER

con- Case, JI ventional forms of locomotive and coaches. It was found that while with ideal streamlining alr resistance could be reduced by 75 per cent, it could be reduced by 50 per cent, without drastic de Farture from conventional design. The corresponding fuel economy was in the region of £1 an hour at train speeds of 100 miles an hour, or alternatively the maxi- mum speed could be increased by 12 to 25 per cent, according to the degree of streamlining adopted.

Air resistance was augmented by side winds, the increase being mainly due to frontal pressure on exposed surfaces. The lateral wind force, perpendicular to the train, was large. but the consequent in- crease of forward resistance due to
latively small except for highly streamlined trains. The worst na- tural wind was not directly ahead but ranged from 30deg, to 60deg. on either side of the ahead direc- tion. Streamlining measures were. on the whole, more effectual in "side winds than in direct winds or In still air. The gaps between the coaches accounted for relatively little air resistance, and much of it could be obviated by abutting $8 pi. coaches as closely together as practicable and covering the re- maining gap to the general com- tour of the train. A surprisingly large proportion of the air resis tance of a coach, especially, under the action of oblique winds, was
