carrying wheel

II, but these had different dimensions, including smaller driving and carrying wheels.

Power is delivered to the vehicles using brushes or by current carrying wheels.

In addition to changes to the frame, it was modified with new 1000 mm diameter carrying wheels.

In Machine terms, a bogie is a chassis or framework carrying wheels, attached to a vehicle.

The most obvious changes were the omission of the second side windows in the cab and the solid disc carrying wheels.

I, that however were somewhat smaller and had smaller driving and carrying wheels.

In particular reference to steam engines, the carrying wheels have a very important purpose of allowing the engine's weight distribution to be altered.

Unlike many other articulated designs, these carrying wheels were toward the center of the locomotive, as were the cylinders.

The carrying wheels and first coupled wheels worked together in a Krauss-Helmholtz bogie.

The second coupled wheelset was driven and the carrying wheels rested in Bissel axles.

The boiler was not covered by a cab or other bodywork; the two pairs of carrying wheels were beneath the carriage portion.

This rather distinctive locomotive had plate 10ft wheels instead of the more usual spoked ones, the carrying wheels being 5ft.

A new cast steel frame was used, with the cylinders cast integral, and roller bearings were used on all carrying wheels.

The G 5.1 was fitted with inside Allan valve gear and the carrying wheels were of the Adams axle design.

Since the type has fewer driving wheels than carrying wheels, a smaller percentage of the locomotive's weight contributes to traction, compared to other types.

The du Bousquet design had an unusual wheel arrangement; both trucks had six driving wheels and two carrying wheels supporting the cylinders.

At the rear of the machine is a pair of rollers, geared together, the upper one driven by the carrying wheels of which it forms the axle.

It was almost identical to the Class NG G13, but with all carrying wheels fitted with roller bearing axle boxes and arranged as pony trucks.

The pilot wheels were arranged as conventional pony trucks while the inner carrying wheels were built to the Gölsdorf system that allowed the axle some lateral movement.

This makes desirable the inclusion of unpowered carrying wheels mounted on two-wheeled trucks or four-wheeled bogies centred by springs that help to guide the locomotive through curves.

Carrying wheels are referred to as leading wheels if they are at the front, or trailing wheels if they are at the rear of the locomotive.

At the beginning there were three locomotives, Victoria, Britannia and Caledonia, all six wheeled tender engines, with five foot driving wheels and 3 ft 6in carrying wheels.

The rigid mounting of the driving and carrying wheels and the location of the cylinder just in front of the carrying wheel did not prove a success.

Since they did not have separate bogie trucks, the leading and trailing carrying wheels were arranged as radial axles to allow for sideways motion of the wheels with respect to the locomotive frame.

From this theoretical work a practical result ensued in 1888: the design of the Krauss-Helmholtz bogie, which saw widespread use on locomotives with carrying wheels - and not only on steam locomotives.
