2-8-8-8-4 the locomotive. Like the same railroad's large articulated electrics and the Erie Railroad 2-8-8-8-2s, it was nicknamed "Triplex". An overview of Triplex engineering is given at Triplex (locomotive). The XA was unable to sustain a speed greater than five miles an hour, since the six cylinders could easily consume more steam than the boiler could produce. The tender had a four-wheel truck at the rear to help guide the locomotive into curves when drifting back downhill after pushing a train over the hill. The XA was sent back to Baldwin in 1920 and was rebuilt as two locomotives, a 2-8-8-0
1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯ meters, and so on Zeno argued that the tortoise would always remain ahead of Achilles. The parts of the Eye of Horus were once thought to represent the first six summands of the series. 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + ⋯ In mathematics, the infinite series is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely. There are many different expressions that can be shown to be equivalent to the problem, such as the form: 2 + 2 + 2 + ... The sum of this series can be denoted in summation notation as: As with any
