Description of action and construction method used by General Electric of United States for transition and wheel slip controls in diesel electric locomotives; method depends upon axle driven generator, but relay is frequency sensitive, not voltage sensitive; principal advantage is that frequency is absolutely tied to axle generator speed and hence to locomotive speed.
