Recent developments in design of carbon inserts for electric transport pantographs and die-forms for their compaction

The paper analyses the widely-known and new designs of electric transport pantographs, including those worked out by the scientists of the South Ural State University and produced by LLC “Grafitoplast” (Chelyabinsk). The paper also describes widely-known and new designs of die-forms for pantograph compaction developed by the scientists of the South Ural State University.
