Tests of modified AL5 type 25-kv a-c locomotives on British Railways in which rheostatic brake comes in automatically with vacuum brake application; comparison tests were made on timed and measured stops from various speeds with automatic rheostatic brake and standard proportional brake; tests proved that at no time was automatic rheostatic brake inferior to proportional air brake, run over same sections of track.
