The carrying axle was in the form of an Adams axle.

The mass was further distributed to two carrying axles that were designed as Adams axles.

The carrying axles were designed as Adams axles and had leaf return springs.

This idle-axle was designed as an Adams axle and had a side-play of 2x31 mm relative to the bogie.

The leading bogie was an Erfurt design, the trailing axle was an Adams axle.

The G 5.1 was fitted with inside Allan valve gear and the carrying wheels were of the Adams axle design.

Adams Axle (German)

Unlike the otherwise identical G 5.4 they had a leading Adams axle instead of a Krauss-Helmholtz bogie.

The Adams axle is a form of radial axle for rail locomotives that enable them to negotiate curves more easily.

Each of them contained two drive axles, one leading Bissel axle and one trailing Adams axle.

The bridging slab leaned on the outer frames over a pivot and via horizontal springs between the inner drive axles and the Adams axles.

Locomotive engineer William Bridges Adams, inventor of the Adams axle, was born at Woore in 1797 and brought up there.

The engines had Allan valve gear, the carrying axle was designed as an Adams axle and the steam dome was located on the front boiler ring.

This was an evolutionary development of the Prussian T 9.2, in which the main difference was the use of a Krauss-Helmholtz bogie instead of an Adams axle.

Its striking features in comparison with the G 3/4 N were its superheater system, the feedwater preheater, the larger and higher-positioned boiler and its Adams axle.

The idea was first tried successfully by William Bridges Adams on the London and South Western Railway in 1863 and was known as the Adams Axle.

William Bridges Adams, locomotive engineer and inventor of the Adams Axle, died at Broadstairs in 1872 and was buried at St Peter's Church.

He is best known for his patented Adams Axle - a successful radial axle design in use on railways in Britain until the end of steam traction in 1968 - and the railway fishplate.

He should not be mistaken for William Bridges Adams (1797-1872) a locomotive engineer who, confusingly, invented the Adams axle - a radial axle that William Adams incorporated in designs for the London and South Western Railway.
