Results of measurements taken show that reasonable coefficient of friction may be expected to exist between wheels and rails of locomotives; at certain times and places, however, low values are recorded which have operational consequences; rational approach to problem would be to design locomotives and their controls making maximum use of adhesion occurring at any one time, and then to provide supplementary apparatus available in emergency.
