The remaining details are given in the following table, whichmakes comparison easier: LOCOMOTIVE LOSSES AND DRAW-BAR PULL AT STARTING In order to arrive at the value of the draw-bar pull exerted bythe locomotive on the level at starting, the starting periods atKennington with 100 and 120 amps., and Elephant and Castle withthe same currents, will be considered; these stations are chosen.
