PANTO GRAPH
Pantograph is similar to that used for AC loco but having
spring control only.
The required pressure of panto is adjusted by means of
control springs at the bottom. It is mounted on the centre line
along the roof of the tower wagon at the other end. The height of
the panto is adjusted suitably to meet the requirement of
overhead equipment
On panto pan the marking of stagger is done. Similarly
the height gauge is also fitted to the pantograph. This facilitates
recording of the stagger and height of the contact wire
respectively.
