To control the power of a large locomotive effectively the driver must be provided withso me form of automatic control of tractive effort and engine power. This must ensure that the engine is never overloaded, and that the most efficient use is made of the available adhesion. Some details of load control are discussed from a stability point of view, and ways and means of using the available power are discussed. An ideal characteristic is proposed and the limitations of existing machine systems are described.
