Page 7 - IV- ON RAIL. To the Members of the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance of Way Association : Your Committee on Rail presents the following report: During 1910 the following meetings were held : Baltimore, Md., February 16, 1910.
Page 10 - ... to be well adapted to the purpose for which it was designed.
Page 424 - Two curves are given showing the ductility of the rail-bar in the drop test, one with the head in tension and the other with the base in tension.
Page 460 - DROP TESTS. Two drop tests were made of each rail, one with the head in tension and the other with the base in tension, with results as shown in the table, Fig. 6, which shows the deflections of the rails, the REMARKS '.OS t.oe Iff
Page 518 - ... and the other at the junction of the head and the web. The results of the analyses are shown in Table 2: TABLE 2 — ANALYSES.
Page 534 - Rolling tests were made with a reciprocating machine in which a piece of rail is moved back and forth under a wheel to which a load can be applied by means of levers. A diagram of the machine is shown in Fig. 1, from which it is seen that the rail is fastened to a steel bloom which runs on rollers running on another steel bloom that forms the bed of the machine.
Page 533 - The tests were made at Sparrows Point, Md., at the works of the Maryland Steel Co., who kindly furnished all the material and all the shop and laboratory facilities to make them.
Page 527 - ... corner of the head, and the other from the interior of the web, near the junction between head and web.
Page 434 - The yield point as determined by the drop of the beam of the testing machine shall be one-half the ultimate tensile strength.
Page 518 - The yield point in the 2-in. pieces was determined by means of a Capp's multiplying dividers. The results of the tests are shown in Table 3 : TABLE 3 to TENS1LE TESTS.
