This matter was important, asthe fixed wheel base was specified not to exceed 3600 mm(11 ft. 9 in.). The leading axles permit the locomotive totravel easily around curves of 160-m (525-ft.) radius. Only the two outer coupling axles are rigidly fixed tothe frame, in order to obtain flexibility on curves. Thecenter coupling axle has a side play of 20 mm ( in.) oneach side so that it can run on the outer rails on sharpcurves and thus is guided independently of the frame. Thelocomotive is guided by the two front axles on curves of.

The upper part of the locomotive is completely main transformer is mounted in the center on doubleT-irons arranged between the main frame covers. Thehigh-tension oil switch and a part of the control gear aremourned on a special frame over the transformer. The
