The Traction range of speed indicating instruments
has been designed to meet the requirements
of transit units worldwide.
In the operational areas of passenger transport
& industrial rail frieght great demands are
placed on instumentation systems due to the
severe shock and vibration that can be experienced
during service.
In many of these applications RECORD Traction
Speed instruments are choosen because
of their robust design and reliability.
Many of the worlds railways are now run by
operating companies with long-term franchises.
Trains themselves usually last between 30 and
40 years and because of these factors operators
and manufacturers look for long term reliability
and availabilty to support the working
life of the transit system.
The Twinset internal movement pointer indicates
the actual track speed of the vehicle,
and the outer pointer controlled by additional
equipment shows the max allowable track
speed for the particular line.
As interiors of the passenger compartments
change to meet requirements of fashion and
passenger safety. The drivers cabin has
become more spacious and designed with driver
comfort in mind.
One item, the speed indicator, has remained
relatively unchanged. This is due to the need
to maintain familiarity between drivers around
the world and the engineering acceptance
that this product has gained over many years.
