Electric Railways: Theoretically and Practically Treated is a book written by Sydney Whitmore Ashe and originally published in 1905. The book is a comprehensive guide to electric railways, covering both the theoretical and practical aspects of their design, construction, and operation. The book begins with an overview of the history of electric railways, including the development of early systems and the evolution of electric traction technology. It then delves into the technical details of electric railways, covering topics such as the design of electric motors, the principles of electric traction, and the construction of overhead power lines. The book also includes practical information on the operation and maintenance of electric railways, including discussions of scheduling, signaling, and safety procedures. It also covers topics such as track maintenance, rolling stock design, and the economics of electric railways. Throughout the book, Ashe provides detailed illustrations and diagrams to help readers understand the technical concepts he is discussing. He also includes numerous examples and case studies from real-world electric railway systems, both in the United States and abroad. Overall, Electric Railways: Theoretically and Practically Treated is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, design, or operation of electric railways. It provides a thorough and detailed overview of the subject matter, and remains a classic reference work in the field over a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
