The principal aspects of suspension performance which usually appear in rolling stock specifications are reviewed, the theoretical methods in common use are described and some examples of their application in design are given. The general state of the art of vehicle mechanics as applied to railway suspensions is discussed and some areas where there is a need for further understanding and improved design procedures are indicated.
