Locomotives à gazoline. En traction souterraine, les locomotives à gazoline sont d’usage restreint, à cause de leur dégagement de gaz et de fumée. Le moteur généralement adopté est à 4 cylindres et à 4 temps(...) Les combustibles utilisés, outre la gazoline et l'éther liquide de pétrole, sont parfois à base de naphte, de benzine ou d’alcool.(...) La commande générale est à friction, par contact entre un disque d’acier et la roue à fibre. Le système de refroidissement comporte un radiateur à sections tubulaires, un ventilateur et une pompe. Le changement de vitesse-3 vitesses de 4 à 12 milles à l'heure-s’effectue par un volant vertical commandant la roue à fibre dans un mouvement transversal vers le disque à friction. Un dispositif placé sur le volant de commande permet de serrer la roue libre contre le disque de friction de manière à maintenir une vitesse déterminée, soit en avançant, soit en reculant; cette vitesse peut atteindre 12 milles à l'heure. 1, record 6, French, - locomotive%20%C3%A0%20gazoline
