Engineering papers

By Chris NewmanDec 19, 2020

The following three English translations from the German of engineering papers by Von Dr. Ing. Arnold Tross, are available for download.

Sincere thanks to Matt Janssen of the Vapor Locomotive Company, who commissioned the translations, for making them available to ASTT:

  • Mathematical-Graphic Method for the Calculation of Rigid Staybolts with new design Shafts under all possible demands and conditions, 1952;
  • The Results of Measurements of Stretch with Different Types of Staybolt, 1953;
  • New Knowledge and Construction Directions in the Area of Locomotive Rear Boiler (Staybolts, Firebox and Boiler), 1953.

Note: Descriptions and notations of diagrams remain in the original German. Readers may find some words used in the translated text difficult to interpret.
