DR series T 18.10

Baureihe T 18.10 - steam powered steam turbine steamer Deutsche Reichsbahn.

In 1923 and 1926, T 18.10 steam locomotives were constructed to investigate the use of a steam turbine in a locomotive. With the use of turbines it was expected to improve efficiency and, together with the reduction of dynamic loads, safe and quiet driving without damaging the track. T 18 1001

T 18 1001 was constructed in 1924 at the Kruppa plant. The steam locomotive had six Krupp Zoelly steam turbines built transversely to the forward direction. The drive was transmitted to the wheels via a gear and a blind shaft. For backward driving, the locomotive had a second, smaller, three-stage turbine. During experimental driving, the locomotive actually showed great savings compared to conventional steam locomotives.

After the test drive the locomotive was rebuilt: the reverse drive turbine was removed and replaced by a reversing gear and a maneuver turbine.

The locomotive was used until 1940 when it was destroyed by two bombs dropped. She was stationed at the Hamm locomotive.

The locomotive was fitted with a condensation tender 2'2 'T 19.5. T 18 1002 T 18 1002 was designed and built by Krauss Maffei in 1926. The condensers were mounted on both sides with a radial steam turbine. Front and rear turbines had a common position and propelled the twin intermediate shaft with the discs. Unlike the first locomotive, the second did not achieve significant savings in combustion. The steam locomotive was used intermittently until 1943 to drive express trains, after which the bomb damaged was decommissioned. The steam locomotive boiler has been attached to the chassis of the BR 52 locomotive and was used by Ingolstadt and Munich as a test system for boiler safety valves in 1964.

The locomotive was fitted with a condensation tender 2'2 'T 24. Bibliography

Pupo Román

José René "Pupo" Román Fernández (died 1961) - Dominican general. Curriculum vitae In the Dominican history, when the dictatorial president Rafael Leónidas Trujillo was in power, Roman was his niece's husband and "third person in the state" (Trujillo and SIM Arturo Espaillata). He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis. Ultimately, the conspiracy ended with the conspirators' defeat when Zacarias - chauffeur Trujillo - survived the presidential bombardment and handed over the drafts of the bombers and Arturo Espaillat informed Roman about the death of the commander - at the sight of Arturo Espaillata Roman revealed ...

Myrmex Indikos

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous. This story is confirmed by the next accounts: Nearchos, one of the army officers of Alexander Macedoński, and Megastenes - a historian and traveler. The fragment of the Megasthenes (IV-III century BC) preserved in fragments can be seen in the underground mines at the foot of the mountains on the easte...

Names of streets and squares

-
The names of the streets and squares were originally of a topographical nature, that is, they informed about: Researchers propose two names for these toponyms - urban or plateonimy. S. Urbańczyk points out that the older names were spontaneously formed and sprouted in the daily lives of the inhabitants of the place. The information contained herein was related to the characteristics of the place (eg appearance), important road directions (geographic orientation) or values, functions and economic meanings called places / objects in the settlement for the inhabitants' lives. Former names are protected by law, but are often not respected by managers of the municipality, county or province. Currently the names of streets and squares are given by the commune authorities, county governors or voivodships. There is a tendency to use commemorative names, ie to commemorate deserving people and important events (eg Zygmunt August Street, 3. Maja Street). The names of the districts are ...
