Abstract

762,877. Railway turntables. BOYD & CO. (ENGINEERS), Ltd., J. June 6, 1955 [Oct. 17, 1953], No. 28701/53. Class 104 (2).. A railway turntable comprises a pair of girders 1 secured together in parallel spaced apart relationship to provide a locomotive supporting structure which is pivotally supported at its mid-point about a vertical axis 6 and a pair of bogies adjacent each end of the structure provided with wheels 20 which run on a circular track 7, each bogie supporting an end of one of the girders 1 by means permitting pivotal movement of the bogie about a vertical and a horizontal axis. Each bogie consists of a pair of wheels 20 mounted between check plates 9 pivotally mounted on a horizontal pin 12 carried by cheeks 15 of a unit 11 provided with a vertical boss 13 pivotally engaged in a recess 14 located on the underside of a girder 1. The ends of the cheek plates 9 are joined by plates 10 to turnbuckles 21 which are pivotally secured to a common pin on the underside of the girder 1 and hold the wheels 20 tangential to the circular track 7. One bogie at each end of a girder 1 is driven by an electric motor (not shown) from a shaft 26 through a pinion 27, engaging a gear 28 secured to one wheel 20 of the bogie. The other wheel 20 of the bogie is driven by a gear 32 fixed thereto through an idler gear 30 mounted on the pin 12 and a gear 29 attached to the driven wheel 20. Each wheel 20 is mounted on an axle 16 supported in spherical self-aligning roller bearings 17 carried in ferrules 18 mounted in the check plates 9.
