speed and cutoff

[nw-mailing-list at nwhs.org]

John,

I have some information about some of these classes. But I will need a few days to get to that and dig it out. This time of year is a little hectic, so bear with me.

Best wishes,

Bud

        Group,

        Another question may be someone will know or maybe not?

        The class A developed max HP at 40mph, right? With a full tonage train at that speed what would be the average % of cutoff on the reverser?

        The Y6b is at 25mph? % of cutoff?

        S1a at 15mph? %?

        The class J running a heavy train at say 70mph. what would the % of cutoff used?

        I am working on determining the pounds per second of steam being exhausted by these engines. I was looking at the use of other types of front end arrangements (Lempor Exhaust) on these engines. These are the last variables I need to know.

        Thanks,
        John Rhodes

        PS. Louis Newton, Bud Jeffries, Ed King, or others, do you know?
