	Dynamometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A dynamometer or "dyno" for short is a device used to measure power and torque produced by an engine.
		The dynamometer is connected to a computer which uses math to calculate the output of the engine.
		An engine dynamometer measures power and torque directly from the engine's crankshaft (or flywheel), when the engine is removed from the vehicle.

		Apparatus is added to some dynamometers by means of which a curve showing the variations of P on a distance base is drawn automatically, the area of the diagram representing the work done; with others, integrating apparatus is combined, from which the work done during a given interval may be read off directly.
		The spring of the dynamometer car used by W. Dean on the Great Western railway is made up of thirty flat plates, 7 ft. 6 in.
		In spring dynamometers designed to measure a transmitted torque the mechanical problem of ascertaining the change of form of the spring is complicated by the fact that the spring and the whole apparatus are rotating together.

	Chesapeake and Ohio Historical Magazine: C&0's dynamometer car
		The dynamometer car was therefore developed to measure the actual pulling forces, and the resistance to these forces, encountered with a locomotive in actual service on a train of known weight and configuration.
		The dynamometer car was used to do a number of jobs: First, to determine tonnage ratings for various types of locomotives over various divisions or sections of a railway, which helped decide on pusher districts and the types of locomotives to be used on various classes of trains.
		The car remained in use until the 1960s, testing first-generation diesels, and in the late 1970s DM-1 was finally retired and given to the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, where it may be seen today.

		A dynamometer was used to measure the forces acting on the car while it was placed in a wind tunnel and subjected to settings ranging from 10 to 26 Hz.
		The apparatus used for measuring the forces on the model consisted of the wind tunnel, and a dynamometer.
		The car was pre-mounted on the dynamometer upon arriving in the lab, and the equipment was pre-calibrated.

		The dynamometer car was used to record the speed, drawbar pull, and horse-power, and the coal was measured in a box holding 850 pounds.
		The Santa Fe dynamometer car was used on these tests, and the locomotive was fitted with a three-inch water meter on the right side, a four- inch water meter on the left (pump) side, a feed-water thermometer, smoke-box and steam chest pyrometers, and gauges for steam chest, receiver, and back pressure.
		Dynamometer Car number 137 was used on all runs, and the locomotive was indicated and very complete records were taken.

		The LNER dynamometer car 902502, used to measure the world steam speed record of the Mallard
		A dynamometer car is a railroad maintenance of way car used for measuring various aspects of a locomotive's performance.
		Measurements include tractive effort (pulling force), power, top speed, etc. Although now advanced calculations make the dynamometer join the ranks of obsolete equipment such as cabooses and steam locomotives, it was certainly a valuable asset when it was used.

		The small copy of the dynamometer car trace that has been published must be a copy of the original, and shows 05 002 accelerated at a fairly steady rate from just over 100 mph to around 115 mph without significant speed fluctuations.
		If precise dynamometer car speed details for each km post were available it would be a simple matter with a computer to convert these speeds to exact times over short/medium distances, and then compare these with the actual times recorded.
		But at present the fact that the dynamometer car was on this run is an indication that the maximum speed quoted could very well have been correct.
