Results of Tests for Air Resistance on the Berlin-Zossen Experimental High Speed Line The great interest which has been growing for all ex-periments on high-speed electric railroading for the lastdecade has become largely concentrated upon the trialsduring the tests made in Germany last fall. While agreat many experiments have been made in high-speed have been carefully kept from the public, and but little isknown of the actual data which was obtained. The paucityof knowledge on actual train resistance, particularly thatdue to the air, make this data of exceptional interest, andthrough the courtesy of the engineers the accompanyingcurves are published for the first time, showing the relationbetween air pressure and speed. It was originally intendedto obtain speeds of 200 km (125 miles) per hour or over, mm
