Clarke, C.W.
Locomotive hornblocks (with a note on frame stresses). 615-39. Disc.:
639-60.
Noted at beginning that most British railways used parallel block
horncheecks, but that certain LNER locomotives had taper-wedge front horncheeks.
Based on Indian experience. Also notes (pp.. 620-1) that "latest" LMS locomotives
have divided hornblocks, whereas new LNER locomotives have solid hornblocks.
In some designs, such as the LMS 2-6-0 and SR King Arthur class the leading
and driving hornblocks were of the solid type, but those for the trailing
axle were divided to reduce head room. Includes geared (electric locomotives)
with the forces transmitted through quill drives and jackshafts..

Review of electric traction in England. Part 1. – Statistical review.
664-81.
Surveys LMS, LNER and Southern lines in somewhat greater depth than
LPTB lines. Includes a very interesting map of distances from London, Hull,
Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Newcastle in icrements of
25 miles up to 100 miles. Only Cornwall, small Welsh outposts and the coast
between Lowestoft and Sea Palling fell outwith the 100 mile zone; although
West Runton's proximity to Hull was only appropriate for electrically-powered
ships!. Some of the towns marked on the map are significant in that Beeching
failed to see their significance: Hawick, Swaffham and Tavistock illustrate
how poorly geography was taught in Maidstone.
