bow collector

It also had single coach, bow collector & metal body, but the front window was not so large like modern type.

It has single coach, wooden body & bow collector.

Bow collector: a frame that holds a long collecting rod against the wire.

The trolley poles were later replaced with bow collectors.

Siemens later designed his own method of current collection, from an overhead wire, called the bow collector.

The collector was later replaced with a bow collector.

The trams used a mixture of bow collectors and trolley poles.

The museum has been built to use any of them, including trolley poles, bow collectors and pantographs.

It is electrified using overhead wires at 550 volts direct current, with bow collectors.

The system was electrified, with trams using bow collectors to take power from the overhead wires.

Thus overhead 'frogs' and guides for trolley poles are not necessary with bow collectors.

Bow collectors are, however, much noisier than trolley poles.

The new contact supplies were bow collectors.

The original trolley pole current collector was replaced by a bow collector in 1966.

The bow collector has fewer moving parts than the trolley pole, but is heavier and sometimes more complicated to construct.

The construction of overhead wires for bow collectors is simpler than trolley pole wiring.

The bow collector is one of the simplest and most reliable methods of current collection used on tramways.

The museum currently houses trams with trolley poles, bow collectors and pantographs.

A bow collector is one of the three main devices used on tramcars to transfer electric current from the wires above to the tram below.

To avoid contravening this patent, the Siemens company was forced to design its own, unique form of current collection, namely the bow collector.

This distributes wear across the bow collector's collector plate, and extends the collector's life.

The two wires don't touch (although the bow collector/pantograph is briefly in contact with both wires).

Another example is KTV-55-2 tramcar which had two bow collectors for the two directions of travelling.

Electric trains that collect their current from an overhead line system use a device such as a pantograph, bow collector, or trolley pole.

Passenger tramcars are equipped with bow collectors, that are suitable for operation on the existing catenary.
