Program was prepared for GE-625 computer in FORTRAN IV language to compute dynamic behavior of catenary and pantograph for railroad cars moving at constant velocity; catenary is considered to consist of two wires joined by elastic droppers at arbitrary locations; upper catenary wire is in turn supported by elastic towers at arbitrary locations; account is taken of tension and mass in each wire, wire sag, damping of wires, springing between shoe and wire, springing and damping between shoe and pantograph frame, damping of pantograph frame to railroad car, lifting of wire away from shoe, and stops in pantograph to limit motion between shoe and pantograph frame.
