Posted by Stephen Bauman on Fri Mar 7 22:25:15 2008, in response to Re: Re :(Speed ) TA is obsessed with CBTC, and ''New'' tech for no reason., posted by Wado MP73 on Fri Mar 7 13:10:39 2008. Navily is a nice site but not always good with numbers...I haven't been to Paris for two decades, so I couldn't give the article a personal sanity check. I did not find any other websites that contradicted the 5 mph/sec. Considering the Green Hornet of 70 years ago had an acceleration of 4 mph/sec on a steel rail(from the Green Hornet Brochure that used to be on the web), an acceleration of 5 mph/sec for a pneu did not seem out of line. Also, the discussion of having twice the power of the MP59 made the acceleration seem reasonable. ...written by an RATP Director. I don't suppose the not having a 5 mph/sec acceleration was a translation error. :=) |
